Even the most urban corners of Glasgow hide pockets of nature for those willing to walk. Green spaces like Glasgow Cathedral and Necropolis and Riverside Museum offer a breathing room between landmarks — and some of the best views you'll find anywhere in the city. Seek out quieter retreats like Glasgow Necropolis for the calm that the busier parks can't offer.
Glasgow is Scotland's creative powerhouse, a city of stunning Victorian architecture, world-class museums, and a warmth of spirit that makes it one of Britain's most welcoming walking cities.

Quieter spots like Glasgow Necropolis provide the kind of rest that the main attractions cannot.
