I was born in Edinburgh but live in Glasgow. Both cities are fantastic. Edinburgh for the history and architecture, Glasgow for the big city buzz, people, shopping and nightlife.

I totally agree. Both cities are amazing and beautiful cities and at the same time so different. Whatever it is you are looking for, you will definitely find it in one of these cities 😍

Can you guide me, which town midway between Glasgow/Edinburgh is good for family of 4s, Like Falkirk? I guess ....I am from Dubai want to start business+ freelancing!

⁠@@zainulabdin1720Falkirk sounds like a good idea as it gives you access to both Glasgow and Edinburgh, there are A380s flying between Dubai and Glasgow so plenty of seats, both GLA and EDI are well connected, flights and trains to London and the rest of England are plenty, there’s also the motorway system, and Falkirk is also on the way further north to places like Dundee and Aberdeen. So overall being in between Glasgow and Edinburgh is good for businesses in Scotland, but depending on the nature of your business, you could even live in smaller places like Shotts or Caldercruix and commute only when necessary. There’s a business park just outside of greater Glasgow on the M8 on your way to Edinburgh, it’s called Eurocentral or Maxim park, could be a good option as well. Hope you find a suitable place for your business 😊

@@threesixnine369six thanks for valuable information ℹ️💟, I really appreciate U dear, may God bless you amen! I really consider Shotts as option along with Falkirk both stations are quite midway between Glasgow/Edinburgh ( Scott rail).other sources of transport. I need to visit first to findout suitable place for business setup like food point cafeteria, indeed I love Scotland 💟 Glasgow is my favourite than Edinburgh.

Worked in Glasgow area for 6 months as an American. Lived in Central Glasgow. Visited Edinburgh numerous times. Edinburgh hauntingly beautiful. However, Glasgow seemed more a true Scottish experience being immersed with Glaswegians.

@aventuralina 8 ай бұрын

That was my impression as well even though I only spend a short time in both cities. I think the more touristic a city gets, the less original it is, meaning the true Scottish feeling will get lost. But as you said: Edinburgh is so beautiful and I totally understand that so many tourists visit it 😍

T he city tour bus is the best way to see Glasgow and see places you probably would miss. Edinburgh is a much more walkable city .

@aventuralina Ай бұрын

I agree! I also felt like Edinburgh is easier walkable than Glasgow. All the touristic places are pretty close to each other in Edinburgh 😊

Well, if you should visit, I think Edinburgh for all its historical and artistic wealth, monuments. If it is to live, the balance leans towards Glasgow because it is a larger city with better offers in general, free museums and good architecture (they already buy me with this haha) and despite being a large and new city I feel that it maintains a balance between old and modern, and finally it is the home city of Glasgow Celtic Park Stadium hahaha

Alinaaaaaa 😊😊 Esto si lo escribo en mi lengua materna... pues es más personal Jaja la verdad muchas muchas muchas gracias pues me estoy disfrutando mucho mucho esta serie ... Me gustó mucho el vídeo y el último análisis porque tiene el mayor sentido y comparto tu opinión.. con respecto a vivir Glasgow tiene muchas facilidades por otro lado edimburgo aún siendo capital a veces sucede que otras ciudades crecen más en otros sentidos (económicos,laborales) y pese a ser capital pues no ofrece todas las oportunidades de una big city y eso pasa no solo allí sino en varios lugares. Es genial conocer un poco sobre lugares y que te los muestren y describan y más si son. Lugares que algunas vez soñaste, has soñado o sueñas con visitar... Eso es increíble gracias Alinaaaaa 😊😊😊

Thank you so much for your super kind words and feedback! It really means a lot 🥰 And yes, I completely agree with you! Glasgow seems perfect if you are looking for a place to settle down. It has a lot to offer and is a beautiful city! And I really enjoyed the River Side Museum! But if you are in Scotland only for touristic reasons I think Edinburgh is the better option only because in my opinion it has a lot of touristic places and interesting sights. Anyway, both cities are close to each other and easily reachable by train. So if there is sufficient time, why not visit them both? 🤩

@ersrvd 11 ай бұрын

I would like to visit the Glasgow Cathedral and the ship. The good thing is that Glasgow and Edimburgh are relatively close (70km). So I guess Glasgow is totally worth the visit. 👍

@aventuralina 11 ай бұрын

You are absolutely correct! Both cities really aren’t far away from each other and easily reachable by train. I took the train from Edinburgh to Glasgow. It took an hour and it has cost me 12 pounds. So why not see both cities if you have the time? They are definitely both worth a visit 🤩

@derekburke2899 28 күн бұрын

Good summary. Edinburgh = tourism & history, Glasgow = real Scottish life & modernism. Edinburgh is a weekend trip, Glasgow is for life ❤

@aventuralina 27 күн бұрын

Yes! I totally agree with that 💯

@Oppurtunafish 11 ай бұрын

You're summary is very accurate, I would always recommend visitors to Scotland to go to Edinburgh as it has a more tourist friendly feel, but if they stay for a little bit it's definitely worth visiting Glasgow as well as it is so convenient and quick to travel between cities On top of what you said Glasgow also tends to have more large and modern venues for gigs and shows, those buildings were shown in some of your aerial clips of the river Edinburgh is very beautiful but sometimes cramped and often overcrowded, whereas Glasgow feels more spacious but is dirtier than Edinburgh with lots of litter problems. It also tends to have slightly worse weather than Edinburgh

@aventuralina 11 ай бұрын

Thanks a lot for your comments, I really appreciate your feedback! I can imagine Glasgow to be more fun if we are talking about a place to live in because as you said Edinburgh can get overcrowded with all the tourists and I think in Glasgow there’s more things for locals. But anyway, both cities are really beautiful and worth a visit and for sure both have their advantages and disadvantages as everything ☺️

Glasgow Green a great place to explore. Peoples Palace, the Terracotta fountain and the West Brewery all close by. Restrooms set up (or toilets) at the West Brewery interesting.@@aventuralina

Thanks! Will be going to Scotland this summer, and hotel prices seem to be better in Glasgow, but will be splitting time between both cities. 😀

I come from near Glasgo, and it is extreamly diffrent from Edinburgh which is OK but Glasgow is more fun, also great food.

I can imagine that Glasgow is more fun from a local point of view! I felt like Edinburgh was perfect for me as a tourist but if we’d talk about where I’d prefer to live, I’d probably choose Glasgow 🤩

Well done, i remember my Edinbrugh family would say " oh thats a good address" , so snobby. Also they would say ascthey opend the doar " youl have had your tea" yep we knew a Chinese we would eat in the car becaus we knew we would not get fed. In Glasgow wee say "Come in youl have some tea" and get fed, trauma as a kid going to Edinburgh family.@@aventuralina

There's really no Glasgow or Edinburgh, I live in Edinburgh, but I've lived in Glasgow and my Daughter still does. With a 45 minute train journey between the two I can go to gigs in Glasgow. I was there last month in the Barrowland seing the Pretenders. There are too few venues like that anymore. You really can get the best of both 🙂

@aventuralina 10 ай бұрын

Everybody who has the time should definitely see both cities as they are very different and both absolutely beautiful and worth a visit 😍 I took the train to Glasgow and I agree that it’s super fast and easy to go from one city to the other ☺️

Born in Glasgow, but live in Edinburgh. In my opinion Edinburgh is significantly better in almost every way, e.g. history, world-renowned events, beauty, and safety. Glasgow does have good points, e.g. the museums can be great, but it has a lot of deprivation, and that means the city can become quite unsafe, particularly at night. I feel much safer walking around Edinburgh.
