Solo Travel Guide Glasgow
Glasgow does things its own way, and solo travellers fit right in. Get lost in the grandeur of Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, stand in the shadow of Glasgow Cathedral’s towering spires, or grab a seat at Ubiquitous Chip, where good food and good conversation flow with ease. Whether you're here for the art, the history, or just the atmosphere, Glasgow makes space for those who like to explore on their own terms.
Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum
Situated next to a picturesque park, Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum is arguably Glasgow's most popular museum. With Spanish Baroque-style architecture, the institution is neatly divided into two wings: great displays of civic art and a weird and wonderful modern collection.
