A Full Day in Glasgow
-
Morning
Leave at 9:30am and buy a First Day Ticket for Tourists (£4 unlimited travel on First buses from 9:30am to midnight). Purchase the ticket as you board a No. 45 bus to the Burrell Collection. Allow two hours to take in the scope of this amazing museum, and make sure you see the Old Masters paintings.
Return to the city centre and take a 66 or 41 (every 10 mins) to the Botanical Gardens. (If you do this tour on Fri or Sun, reverse the order and visit the Botanics first as the Burrell won’t be open until 11am)
Lunch at the gardens, either with a picnic in the grounds or at one of the many cafés along the Byres Road, opposite the Botanics entrance.
Afternoon
Take one of the many buses heading back into the centre of Glasgow, and get off at Sauchiehall Street. Walk and shop your way along, taking a right at Buchanan Street. Call in for coffee at the Princes Square shopping centre (see Princes Square) , a great place to watch people. Continue on to the Gallery of Modern Art – this gallery has plenty of light-hearted works and gives, rather than takes, energy.
Finally, stroll through George Square and admire the City Chambers before dining at one of the many restaurants in the Merchant City neighbourhood, such as Babbity Bowster , Café Gondolfi or City Merchant .
