Glasgow is a port city on the River Clyde in Scotland’s western Lowlands. It’s famed for its Victorian and art nouveau architecture.
Thinking of visiting Glasgow? then hopefully my guide below will help you make your mind up and help you while you visit.
Getting To Glasgow
Glasgow Airport is our main airport and is around 8 miles out of the city, you can get busses and taxis to and from the airport.
We also have another airport called Glasgow Prestwick Airport, it’s around 32 miles out and is mostly used for Ryanair flights. If you can, book your flight to the main Glasgow Airport.
