Traveler advice
Don't miss
The red bus tour
If you’ve never been to glasgow before, the red bus tour is a brilliant way to see the city in a day, learn about its history, whilst jumping on and off at your chosen sights.
Getting around
The underground
Shields Rd underground is only a few minutes walk from my flat so it’s perfect for getting you to shopping hub in the centre via Buchanan street or the St Enoch Centre, or you can get over to the West End and visit Kelvingrove galleries via Kelvinhall station, or go drinking down Ashton Lane via Hillhead station.
