1. Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum

This is Scotland’s most visited free attraction and a popular thing to do in Glasgow. It houses one of Europe’s great art collections and is amongst the top three free-to-enter visitor attractions in Scotland. With 22 themed galleries and an impressive 8,000 objects to explore, this is a great way to spend a rainy day. We get a lot of those in Scotland, it adds to the character.

2. Spa at Blythswood Square Hotel

An even better way to avoid the rain is this stunning spa set in the city centre. We are living in an age of wellness and this award winning, luxury spa is the platinum ticket to rejuvenation. The spa boasts nine luxury treatment rooms, a thermal suite, two relaxation pools, a lounge and cafe area, plus several additional relaxing guest areas. A perfect thing to do in Glasgow.

3. Glasgow Music City Tours

You can book two distinct tours every Friday and Saturday and bespoke tours are also an option.

4. The Clydeside Distillery

If you enjoy whisky then this is the perfect thing to do in Glasgow. Coming soon this Winter 2017, this 5-star distillery will offer whisky luxury at its best. Be prepared for the creme de la creme of surroundings and of course single malt scotch whisky tasting.

5. House of an Art Lover

Often referred to as a hidden gem, if you’re a Charles Rennie Mackintosh fan then this is a must visit. Beautiful examples of his work and exceptional surroundings make the House of an Art Lover a top thing to do in Glasgow. Did we mention there is a great cafe?

6. Shopping on Buchanan Street

Aptly called the style mile, Buchanan street has numerous brands and shops as well as a mall. Shop until you drop and it’s a walking only street which adds to the experience and makes the shopping all the more leisurely.

7. Glasgow Science Centre

A great day out for all ages, the team behind this have a passion to inspire us to discover and enjoy science and understand its relevance.
