Where to go in Glasgow?

[davidjohnson]

I have to spend three days in Glasgow next week and would appreciate any advice on places to go etc
The only knowledge I have about the place is from watching episodes of Rab C Nesbitt, so I am feeling a bit nervous

nothing to worry about mate honestly, i was born and bred in glasgow and its a fantastic city with loads of great things to see and do.

i suppose its up to you on what you want to do really. I mean it has everything.

what days are you there and what do you fancy?

Thanks all

Will be there Tues/Weds/Thurs and will be busy during "office hours" so am looking for pleasant nightlife. Wont have transport, so hoping for something near the train station area.

You're best to head for Sauchiehall Street if its bars etc your looking for. Depends what kind of night you're looking for. You can get everything from traditional 'pubs' to trendy wine bar type places.
Its within walking distance (10mins) of the train station (central) or about £3/4 in a cab.
You've also got a huge cinema and a couple of comedy clubs if thats your scene.

Cheers

Glasgow's a great city. If they spent a bit of money on the place it would be suitable for keeping pigs in.

Seriously though, have a look at Glasgow Survival, a great guide to Glasgow
