Glasgow Guided City Center Walking Tour

Your tour begins at Glasgow City Chambers

Meet your local guide outside the main door of the City Chambers, the grand Victorian seat of Glasgow's government on George Square. Get your bearings as you set off to explore the city center on foot.

Take in the history of George Square

Set in the civic heart of the city, George Square is lined with statues of famous Scots and grand facades. Your guide shares tales of Glasgow's turbulent past and how it grew into a lively modern city.

Marvel at the University of Strathclyde mural

Next, reach the University of Strathclyde, home to the longest mural in the UK referred to as “Wonderwall.” Learn how Glasgow became a center of learning, and take in the vast street art that stretches along the campus walls.

Stand before Glasgow Cathedral

A short walk brings you to Glasgow Cathedral, a rare medieval church that survived the Reformation intact. Your guide reveals the legends of St. Mungo, the city's patron saint, buried in the crypt below.

Wander the hilltop Necropolis

Just behind the cathedral, the Victorian Necropolis rises across a hill crowded with elaborate tombs. Stroll among the monuments of Glasgow's merchant elite while your guide explains their gothic grandeur.
