A person travels all over the UK—Glasgow citywalk
👫For those visiting Glasgow for the first time, here is a recommended walking route in the city center. The whole journey takes about two hours, excluding exhibition time.
🏵️Route order: George Square—City Hall—Modern Art Museum—Central Railway Station—Buchanan Street—Hutcheson's Hall—Glasgow Cathedral—St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art—Necropolis
🏵️George Square is surrounded by majestic Victorian buildings (pictures 1️⃣2️⃣), especially the City Hall. You can walk around it, the corridor behind is beautiful (picture 3️⃣). There are free guided tours at 10:30 and 14:30 every day, no reservation is needed, just report directly.

🏵️Central Railway Station (pictures 6️⃣7️⃣) has a history of 140 years. Passengers come from all over the world. It is the second busiest railway station in Scotland. The building is Victorian style, very grand and spectacular.
🏵️Buchanan Street, this is Glasgow's famous shopping street, very lively. Recommend the Prince's Square here, its history can be traced back to 1841, the interior decoration is full of British style, the combination of old and new is perfect, especially the staircase in picture 8️⃣ is its highlight. There is also a small but very popular tea room that is easy to miss—Willow Tea Rooms (picture 9️⃣). The interior decoration, furniture and tableware are all designed by architect Mackintosh.
🏵️Hutcheson's Hall (picture 🔟), an elegant building built in 1805.
🏵️Glasgow Cathedral (pictures 12, 13), this cathedral is not to be missed. It is the only cathedral in Scotland that has survived the religious reform period and is well preserved to this day. Most of the buildings can be traced back to the 15th century, the majestic and dark interior of the Gothic architecture, has a solemn sense unique to the Middle Ages.

🏵️The Necropolis (picture 14) is behind the cathedral, spread up a green hill, there are many gorgeous Victorian tombs, the surrounding scenery is as beautiful as a British oil painting.
Great visit at the GOMA in Glasgow Scotland. The famous statue outside often has a street cone on the riders head :)
The Glasgow Museum of Modern Art does not look big, and the whole building is an obvious European architectural style. A tall statue of a knight at the door is said to have been wearing a mask during the epidemic.
The exciting place in Glasgow is his ubiquitous cultural palace. The old empire, the big city of Scotland, the cultural relics are everywhere.
This is a must-come place for Glasgow in various travel guides. The ancient Greek style columns of the building are very conspicuous at the T-junction. Maybe because of the Christmas relationship, the lights on both sides of the business district to the back are pulled up. It is as beautiful as a galaxy at night. The paintings inside are a bit more modern than the West End art gallery, but the statue at the door has been very funny with an ice cream hat.
Entering the modern art museum, the small exhibition halls are loosely placed with some works representing modern art, very abstract, very strange, very strange, but these seem to be essential elements of modern art. We walked through several exhibition halls inexplicably, each exhibit was alternative, and each exhibit did not leave us much impression. Speaking of which, we still do not have the quality to appreciate modern art. There are many tourists here, and most of them are young people, and perhaps they can find the inspiration they need here. I also see many Chinese students here, who look similar to us and are not very interested in these Western abstract art. There is also a library on the ground floor of the Museum of Modern Art, where many people come to borrow, read and surf the Internet. The most eye-catching thing is that sofas are set up in a large area next to the library bookshelf, providing a good reading environment for people who borrow or check materials.
This museum is mostly empty , with a few good works of art mixed in with a bunch of rubbish. Boring letters in cases and amateurish artwork that looks like it was painted by a 5 year old.
Glasgow, a city of useless borders that blends modern and classical, is also full of humor, and the statue of the former Duke of Wellington at Glasgow Modern Art Museum is pranked on the traffic cone. Yeah, that's the guy who's gone shit and beat Napoleon at Waterloo.
