The Merchant City, West End, and East End districts are home to numerous museums, galleries, architectural landmarks, and parks. St. Mungo’s Cathedral is the city’s oldest building.

Glasgow has approximately 70 parks. Glasgow Green, also the oldest park, is of particular interest to tourists. Created in the 15th century, it is now not only a great place to relax but also the center of the city’s cultural life. It hosts various festivals and boasts numerous interesting attractions. Among the most notable are St. Andrew’s Suspension Bridge, the Nelson Monument, the People’s Palace, and the Templeton Carpet Factory.

Kelvingrove Park, founded in the 19th century, is a fine example of Victorian landscape design. In addition to outdoor recreation, the park also features the Kelvingrove Art Gallery, which houses extensive exhibitions dedicated to Scottish and European painting.

Second in popularity after the Kelvingrove Gallery is the Burrell Collection. If you enjoy ancient and Impressionist art, this is the place for you.
