Glasgow City Guide - 4 Fun and FREE Things to do in Glasgow, Scotland!

[@brianw.costigan8146]

I don't know if you'll come to Glasgow again, but if you do, here are some more free things to do, and if you don't maybe this will be some good info for other people planning to come: 1) The Museum of Religion - close to the Necropolis and Cathedral, and The Provand's Lordship (the oldest house in Glasgow, built in 1471) just across the road from it. 2) The Gallery of Modern Art, just round the corner from George Square, right in the centre of Glasgow. If you walk up Buchanan Street (where the piper was), you take a right at Gordon Street and that takes you through to it. George Square, incidentally, was used as a stand-in for Philadelphia in the film World War Z. 3) The Glasgow Science Centre - just along the road (towards the city centre) from the Transport Museum. It's a fairly short walk, and take a right across the river. * You have to pay here, though: £11 to get in. 4) The Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum (known colloquially as just "The Art Galleries", if you're asking for directions) is not far from the Botanic Gardens: You cross from the Botanics' entrance onto Byres Road, walk down it to the end (taking the left fork onto Church Street) then left along Dumbarton Road and you'll soon see it. Glasgow University is not far from The Art Galleries, should you wish to go and see it, and you can see the steeple from the Art Galleries. 5) The Burrell Collection/Museum (housing artefacts and paintings from a wide variety of places and times, collected by Sir William Burrell, a wealthy Glaswegian shipping magnate and art collector) is on the South Side of Glasgow: It's a short train journey (10-15 mins) from Central Station. You catch the train to Pollokshaws West station, which is marked as the get off point for the Burrell, turn left out of the station and walk down to the entrance to Pollok Country Park, in which the museum is situated. It's a ten minute walk thru the park from there. WARNING: Make sure you get on the train that goes to PollokSHAWS WEST station, and not to any of the other 3: Pollokshaws EAST, PollokSHIELDS West, or Pollokshields East!!! The Burrell is closed just now for renovations, but ALSO in Pollok Country Park is: 6) POLLOK HOUSE: A stately country dwelling built in 1752 in some pleasant grounds with gardens, and a short walk from the Burrell Collection, through fields with shaggy highland cows in them (fenced off, in case you're worried about their big sharp horns!). * You have to pay to enter Pollok House, but it's nice just to walk around the gardens on a sunny day.

You guys are my new favourite youtubers! I went through a period of being afraid of flying but a few weeks ago got on a plane to Dublin and have booked to go Barcelona in April. You guys have inspired me to go and travel as much as i can so i don't miss out on this crazy beautiful world!

[@Theendlessadventure]

🙌 yes, yes, yes!! That's so amazing! Flights are still not our favorite thing either, but it's worth it when you land in a new place and know that there are so many crazy/awesome adventures ahead of you. ✈️🌎 So happy to have you adventuring with us 😄

[@TheTravelingClatt]

dudes the intro to this video was seriously awesome!

[@Theendlessadventure]

I definitely agree, but listening to Eric edit it was not. BAGPIPES FOREVERRRR 🙉😂 hahaha

[@Aiden_Graham]

Yo sup man 😂😂 didn't expert you here 😂 love your videos btw

[@cmcimagesmedia]

Grew up around the Glasgow area, Its a fantastic city and full of amazing things to do, Growing up you get blinded by what to do, Seeing it through the eyes of a visitor is great and brings a freshness to the place.

[@GreatCityAttractions]

certainly looks a great and welcoming city.

[@awesomeben9025]

I love the colour and HDness of your videos omg they're so satisfying to watch

[@hettyscetty9785]

I love it when tourists come to Glasgow and find out that all of the museums are free (the science centre isn't but that's more of an exhibition centre than a museum).

[@kennymackenzie298]

Did you guys go to The Kelvingrove Museum and Art Gallery? It's one of my favourite places in Glasgow and is also completely free.

[@kpickett456]

Great video! I'm so excited to visit Glasgow! :)

[@daviel6595]

Bring blade

[@paulwheelan1106]

Hi guys. Your love of travel is amazing. Thank you for loving Glasgow. Keep the vlogs coming....And keep being Wide Eyed xxxxx

[@Theendlessadventure]

So glad you're enjoying the adventure, Paul! 😊

[@stephenwilson04]

Love watching your adventures on here. As a Glaswegian (no longer in that part of the country though), I like to see what people think of the city, and Scotland in general. Hope you both had a great time while you were here.

[@deercollective]

Just came back from there! Hands down my favourite city in UK (Londoner) can't wait to go back.

[@ceejay-qi2py]

deercollective nice one I'm from Glasgow they made it look awesome

[@martindaly1229]

Haste ye back

[@lucylovinglife]

Cant believe how close you guys were to my work and where i live! Wish i'd met you, so glad you had a great time in glasgow x

[@Theendlessadventure]

Oh dang! Next time 😊

[@lize-maribroderick6447]

Hey, sorry in know this video was loaded long ago but it just thought I'd say, thanks for a good vlog. Going ro Glasgow soon and glad to see some great places to go to that are free.

[@exploreearth6275]

Really helpful guide Video is really awesome

[@adib6318]

I'm from Bearsden which is a small town 6 miles north of Glasgow and I have been to all these places. It's so cool to see you guys visit these places. Hope you had an amazing times and enjoy the rest of your trip in Glasgow and Scotland! 😄

[@Theendlessadventure]

Thanks so much! It sure was an awesome city. We're excited to come back and see more of Scotland soon :D

[@BilboScotland]

Welcome to Glasgow guys, my home town--nice video, that's us on the tourist map now--the endless adventures in town--we too like the transport museum as its sometimes called, never been to the botanical gardens but it looks good--Thanks for visiting--you do know that just about 20 miles north is Loch Lomond and the start of the Western Highlands. Still, maybe another time--thanks guys.

[@Theendlessadventure]

Haha! We had a great time in Glasgow. We definitely didn't stay long enough...there were so many more things to do/see/eat! We fully plan on heading up to northern Scotland as soon as we can 😊

[@MattNav]

Wow. This was so interesting for me to watch. Main reason is that I'm half Scottish (eastern Scotland, Edinburgh way) and yet I haven't really ever experienced Glasgow or the majority of western Scotland. Goes to show that you learn new things each and every day. Thanks you two ! Keep being awesome ! 😀😊👍

[@Theendlessadventure]

Oh cool!, we love Edinburgh! We're glad we got to check out Glasgow this time around...hopefully you'll get to go soon! Next time, we'll definitely be headed up north...so much to see in that country! 😊

[@ThePigeonClan]

If you guys visit Edinburgh again I highly recommend the Botanic Gardens there. Also in Oct/Nov there is the Botanics light show which was really cool :)

[@Islendingar]

The Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum is also a great place to visit and is only a 5 minute walk from the Botanic Gardens through Kelvingrove Park and you get to see some of the beautiful buildings that make up Glasgow University too ! PS All museums in Glasgow are free and have donation boxes in the foyer too. The best time to visit The Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum is at lunch time about 112:00 as they have a daily concert with the organ at that time too and there is a cafe where you can get lunch too.

[@zainulabdin1720]

Glasgow ❤is in my heart 💖

[@GreatCityAttractions]

looks a great place to explore.

[@RuthShultz47]

Wow what a lovely video as was the London Free things vlog!

[@ica1192]

You guys, the way you film is so amazing. Surprised that you haven't reached a hundred K subs yet, but I'll be here to witness that when that day comes. Keep it up! xx

[@Theendlessadventure]

You just made our day Erica! 😊 We're beyond grateful to have you along for the adventure 🙌

[@DiscoverWithDima]

loved the video guys! Major throwback to when I was Glasgow--I practically did all of these things haha

[@Theendlessadventure]

That's awesome!

[@isabelledoyle4604]

Discovered this channel recently and I'm so happy I did. Such amazing videos. Can't wait to get travelling 🌍

[@Theendlessadventure]

Welcome, Isabelle! Super excited to have you adventuring with us 😄

[@GreatCityAttractions]

Some great useful information well done.

[@smilekatysmile]

Glasgow may be my home town but I have never been to the necropolis and it's been a long time since I had a walk round the botanics. it's lovely to see it through others eyes

[@Theendlessadventure]

You have a lovely home town! :) The Necropolis is definitely worth walking through, although it may be a bit more enjoyable in warmer weather, haha. But it was really interesting to read the tombstones! We especially liked the botanics because they were nice and warm inside 🌞🌻🌺

[@rafaelribeiro3275]

Guys, that was awesome! I followed your tips. I only didn't go to the Botanic Gardens. Cheers...

[@ynys_mon6928]

Glasgow is just about the best city for free!

[@FrauJessJess]

Yay! I'm so glad you came to Glasgow. It's amazing and my home city! I mentioned in your Edinburgh video you should come and you did. I hope you enjoyed it!

[@Theendlessadventure]

Heck yeah! We really enjoyed it :D

[@Travelingmel]

This is fantastic. We head up for our next month just north of Glasgow and we've been looking for some fun cheap stuff to do with our two boys. Thanks! -Henry

[@Theendlessadventure]

+TravelingMel that's awesome, glad we could help!

[@vanguardvaluist2614]

Suggestion: Whenever you guys are describing an "epic fail" on the road, i.e. booking the wrong flight to Paris, you should do a quick cut in of Allison pushing down the foghorn on the boat. Hilarious! Keep up the good work guys!

[@Theendlessadventure]

Hahaha I like where you're head's at 😂😂 -Allison

[@keetahbrough]

it's weird that I"m getting all your old adventures being recommended on my page lol but here we are! My son is half Scots and I"m culture oriented; roots are always important to me.. as my own way to orient to a person or situation. I would never be curious about lands overseas, why would I be, but I"m curious about Scotland.. always have been. The people, the culture.. Highland culture, mind you. xo

[@debscatena]

The transport museum used to be part of Kelvingrove museum, I guess they made a new one.... so great!

[@GreatCityAttractions]

Looks great

[@Fitzy96HD]

i remember going to the old transport museum at the kelvin hall and the botanic gardens multiple time while on school trips, prefer the old museum than the new one to be honest

[@lauran2488]

Love the artistic shots

[@thomashavard-morgan8181]

Whilst you were at The botanic Gardens you really should have popped round the corner to the University. It's a beautiful building and free to walk through and explore for non students.

[@CrisGoatmez]

Damn you guys, just 5 months ago you were celebrating 1k subs, and now you're at 7k... I'm a little jealous, but happy for yall man... Keep pushing, you guys deserve it!!!

[@Theendlessadventure]

Ya, things escalated quickly 😂 Thanks so much, Diego! Glad to have you back in the vlogging world. We have a feeling you'll be celebrating your 7k pretty soon too 🙌

[@witterquickly]

Another couple of excellent (and free) museums are the Hunterian Art Gallery and the Zoology museum, both at Glasgow Uni.

[@Theendlessadventure]

We're pretty sad we didn't make it to the Hunterian...I really wanted to check out the science portion of it! Next time, we'll definitely go to both 😊 -Allison

[@xDILOSHx]

I just found your youtube channel and I'm already lovin your content! keep up the good work :)

[@Theendlessadventure]

Thanks so much!!! 🙌

[@tedoneilclark4710]

Terrific 😄

[@jaredfontaine2002]

Free is for me!

[@ChuckReynolds]

man i love bagpipes :)

[@ceejay-qi2py]

you made my home town look amazing great job

[@georgesaguna]

Thanks for the useful tips, that is sone thing that most travel vlogers forget to include. Most people just show how much fun they are having but forget to keep their audience informed on what to do and not to do whilst visiting. Personally before I travel I am always looking for things to entertain the kids in all types of wether conditions. Scotland is one of my bucket list countries so I will surly visit some of the places on this list

[@Theendlessadventure]

It's a great country to explore with kiddos! There are so many free museums and parks, so you'll always have places to go no matter the weather. We didn't end up going to the science center in Glasgow (we ran our of time, plus it cost money), but they have a building there that rotates 360degrees...if you make it there before us, we'd love to hear what the kids think about that 😊

[@georgesaguna]

We are off to Madrid next week so it might have to wait till easter. If you are looking for some where in Europe which is easy to reach you should visit us in Malta. Its a little island south of the island of Sicily. We are pretty small but extremely surprising. Our history is jam packed. Just to give you an idea we have temples which are older than stonehenge. Our capital city Valletta is going to be the capital of culture for 2018 other than also being a UNESCO world heritage site.

[@Theendlessadventure]

Oh my goodness, Malta is definitely on our bucket list. We had no idea it has such old temples - amazing! When we head that way we'll definitely be hitting you up for recommendations 😊 Have so much fun in Madrid - hopefully there'll be a drone video when you return!? 😄

[@georgesaguna]

Thats the first thing I pack, after the kids that is. Let me know for sure, I will be more then happy to help you out. There are too many things to see here and most go unnoticed as many tourists don't get off the main attractions. I live on the second island which is completely different, Gozo.

[@racheltaylor6578]

All the museums in Glasgow are free.I think that's great.I. Love the Hunterian art gallery and museum and People's Palace.Charles Rennie Macintosh built the Lighthouse.He's pretty world famous now although he wasn't when he was alive.

[@unorthadoxparadox6548]

Love this it really does inspire me iam from the uk and would love to travel and explore the world like you guys. i hope you grow and get more views you deserve it

[@Theendlessadventure]

Thanks so much, Lewis! Hopefully we'll be hearing about your own adventures soon 😉

[@miguelbonilla2160]

Great video and as always great content! Thanks for your awesome advices and one question how did you deal with the Scottish accent?! Keep up the good work!

[@sr-xv7eu]

Double-decker trolley car haha made me laugh lol. It's a tram. They was used in Glasgow for only a short time

[@juliamedina07]

Great video guys! Allison any suggestions on where to find a jacket similar to yours?

[@sarahab7790]

I missed Glasgow ❤️☹️

[@Casavlog777]

جميل جدا و يستحق المشاهدة اليوم صباح الخير Vraiment c'est fantastique nature qui est de plus en plus très très bon état

[@scottishalwaysdixie1638]

The people in Glasgow make Glasgow 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿♥️

[@charlesmitchell4041]

You should have also visited Kelvingrove Museum and Art Gallery!

[@scottt923]

Could've went for a wee stroll doon Saracen Street in Posso or the shoppy in Springburn 'n bumped intae a few junkies

[@CallumWoodbridge]

Great video guys! Let me know if you're back in Glasgow and I'd be happy to recommend some great cheap/free stuff to do, especially in the music/nightlife department (since Glasgow has some of the best in the UK for sure).

[@Theendlessadventure]

We definitely will do!

[@daisyjackson5742]

OMG plz reply it would mean the world I'm not aloud to travel because I'm a young carer for my dad he has N.E.A.D and u travel for me u are my world I love u so much xx

[@Theendlessadventure]

Hi Daisy! Your comment made our hearts so happy! 😊🙌 It's awesome that your dad has you to care for him and we're thrilled that we get to help you virtually travel the world while you do it. ❤️ Thanks so much for adventuring with us 😄

[@englishbobuk]

My favourite KZbinrs too, Daisy! I think Eric and Allison travel for lots of us!

[@yethboth7873]

Hope you guys visit either Devon or Cornwall in the South West of England when you visit the UK next time. Did you know that Cornwall is the most desirable location in the UK to live? Newquay in Cornwall is a great town to visit. Also, if you do visit Cornwall, try Cornish Ice Cream, it is much nicer than regular ice cream.

[@TheDoozintiger]

great video. if your still around Glasgow. grab a burger in a place called Bloc. Best burger in town.

[@alexarcano]

Glasgow Necropolis, used earlier this year for filming of the new batman movie.

[@nicolagilmour6674]

I live in Glasgow!! Where are you staying? make sure you go to Royal Exchange Square and check out our cone statue!! Food-wise you should try BLOC, doghouse, Rab ha's or Arisaig!!!

[@Theendlessadventure]

We actually saw the cone statue! We were just a 10 minute walk from him :) He was cone-less the first time we walked by, but we finally saw him in all his glory the day before we left. Sadly, we couldn't find the footage or he would have been included as must-see sight 😂

[@Ben-cb7uq]

Hey guys, i love your stuff so much, i hope it really never ends. Idea: could you let us know the places that were recommended to you, but couldn't visit? It'd be extra helpful for journey planners like me.

[@Theendlessadventure]

thanks so much 😊 And yeah, that's a good idea!

[@hernanalemanno3651]

Hi guys! It was an amazing video.. What time of the year was that?

[@Idontknow-xf4wz]

loved it

[@EricIrl]

The "double decker trolley car" is, in fact, a Glasgow Tram in the colours of Glasgow Coprporation. Most British city trams were double deckers a bit like that one. With very few exceptions, the old tramway systems were ripped out after World War 2.

[@stephadoc]

At 2:43 you zoom into my house that's the south side of Glasgow the gorbals x

[@Theendlessadventure]

Hah that's awesome!

[@sylviamyers3393]

suggest a free tour of the town hall at George Square.excellent guides.

[@WolfyBoO]

Shieeet, so insanely close D: Am fully Russian, but awesome to see you had a great time in Glasgow. love this city

[@Theendlessadventure]

That's awesome! We had a great time there 👍

[@tyleshat6839]

Omg I go to the school up from the botanic Gardens notre dame high

[@amendippanesar]

Sweet guys...I'm heading there in Sept/oct

[@Theendlessadventure]

Oh how cool! We can't wait to see how you like it :D

[@daviel6595]

Amen Panesar try springburn Or castlemilk great night life

[@davidcarsonmactaggart4349]

You talk about finding things to do for free, but fail to mention that all museums, exhibitions, and so on in Glasgow are free. I don't know the situation now, I suppose it's still the same, but when I was young pubs weren't even allowed a cover charge for live music, so going to see bands in the best music pubs of those days was also free. Free entertainment in Glasgow has never really really been an alien concept.

[@leedavidson2744]

Not going to lie. I never knew most of this and I've lived there my entire life lol

[@Theendlessadventure]

It happens! We were the same way when we lived in San Francisco

[@JTMcAwesomeFace]

I want to see all these things :O

[@kacywatson6314]

Rule number 1 in Glasgow is NEVER try to remove the cone from the head of the statue. Not only will you be cursed for life, but an other cone will mysteriously appear on the head of the statue again.

[@MomsChannelRB]

Cool

[@vermontmike9800]

Did you guys make a trip to York?

[@ttrdf]

nice..

[@dcxn]

Glasgow Necropolis AKA Roach Centre of Scotland

[@jacquesmp]

this botanic Garden looks like the Curitiba's botanic Garden, that also is Very pretty but Glasgow's is way bigger and pretty

[@francisdeans2744]

Ditto previous comment regs art galleries also check out Celtic football ground and the national football stadium Hampden.

[@daviel6595]

Peado park Sorry sellick park Don't take u kids

[@witterquickly]

I jumped off of that ship during the Glasgow River Rat race. The drive home was pretty smelly :|

[@Theendlessadventure]

That's awesome! Ya, it didn't look like the freshest water down there, haha!

[@leepascoe2585]

Heroin. The first hit can be free. The rest will cost you

[@wellbeing7607]

Give it a few years & it will turn out like Hillbrow in Johannesburg..the political movement is already in motion.

[@henrytudor8537]

Its South Africa and not Africa! Africa is not a country, its a continent.

[@henrytudor8537]

rye stb if ignorance makes you feel proud, be my guest. I dont know why someone will refer to scotland as a country when its just another region of the UK which is the independend country and yet, Refer to Africa with over 50 soveriegn nations as a country as well. It just shows that even you guys in the west choose to be ignorant of a lot of things. Accept ur mistake and take correction, afterall most of the partition was done by u guys to begin with.
