Glasgow | Great Britain
Fly daily to Glasgow with easyJet.
Having hosted COP26, the international conference on climate change in 2021, the city known as the Dear Green Place is on a mission to be one of the most environmentally friendly cities in Europe. Glasgow was also recently voted the friendliest city in the world by Time Out magazine.
Despite being Scotland’s biggest city, there are over 90 parks and the Botanic Gardens to escape to, while Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park is within reach. Hop on a bike using the public cycle hire scheme or take a guided walking tour to discover the city’s famous son Charles Rennie Mackintosh, artistic wall murals, or Glasgow’s ghostly, grisly past.
When it rains (one reason why it’s so green), Glasgow has more than 20 museums and art galleries, many offering free admission. The Burrell Collection in Pollok Country Park has reopened following a major and sustainable refurbishment while Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum has a coveted Green Tourism Award and should also be high on your must-see list along with the interactive Glasgow Science Centre, the Gallery of Modern Art and award-winning Riverside Museum with its fabulous transport and technology collections.
The Style Mile is said to have the best shopping outside of London. Pedestrian Buchanan Street has two large indoor malls at either end – Buchanan Galleries and St Enoch Centre – as well as the stylish Princes Square and Argyll Arcade with its sparkling jewellers, while vintage, second-hand stores and stalls offer more eco-friendly fashion.
