Glasgow is a very walkable city.

I visited in April 2023 and it’s really easy to get around.

The 500 express bus leaves the airport every 15 minutes for the city centre and takes about 20 minutes to get to Buchanan Street bus station. One of the prior stops is for Glasgow Central train station with Queen Street not that far away either.

Glasgow has an underground system which is officially called a subway and not the tube as in London. There is an inner Circle Running anti-clockwise and an outer circle running clockwise.

The Scotland Street School Museum is a museum of school education located in a former school designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh between 1903 and 1906. The building is one of Glasgow’s foremost architectural attractions but at the moment it’s covered in scaffolding so isn’t attractive at all…unless you like scaffolding. This place is on the opposite side of the road from Shields Road subway station.

To get to the Glasgow Science Centre I caught the subway to Ibrox and then walked for about 12 minutes. Close by are BBC Scotland and the Imax Cinema. I walked across Bell’s Bridge to the SEC and then headed westwards past the Clydeside Distillery to the Riverside Museum designed by Zaha Hadid. From here there is a signposted path to Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum and from there it’s straightforward to get to the Hunterian Museum and the University of Glasgow.
