Things to do in Glasgow

Scotland’s capital and the biggest city may be known for some of the world’s biggest football teams, but it has a lot to offer on the sightseeing and cultural side. Speaking of culture, if you like visiting museums and galleries, you’ll be spoiled for choice in Glasgow. Tons more places you could get your culture fix include the Pollock Country Park and the Mackintosh House to name a few. Go to Oran Mor and meet the cool kids. This stylishly gritty pub/restaurant has a theater, live music, and a nightclub that’s perfect for knocking back local booze.

The food scene is anything but fussy and pretentious. You’re in luck if you’re vegan or enjoy vegetarian dining, because Glasgow actually played a role in the spread of the vegan movement. Go on a brewery hop around the city – the craft breweries in Scotland are among the best this side of the world. In fact, they’ve been making awesome beer for over 25 years now.
