GLASGOW

2nd part of the Easter trip


25th-27th April 2011


Lighthouse:

By plane Cardiff - Glasgow £40
Bluesky Hostel £12 per night, it isn't in the centre of the city but it is in the middle of everything we wanted to see, so I would recommend it.


It is a big city, not a touristic one but a nice place to live instead; it is practical.


Glasgui (dear green place)
The most relevant character in Glasgow is St.Mungo (dear friend), the city patron s.IV:

Here is the bird that never flew

Here is the tree that never grew

Here is the bell that never rang

Here is the fish that never swam

You must go to St. Mungo's Museum, which aim is promote the respect and understanding between the different religions, it is divided in 3 galleries; Religious art, Religious life and the Scotish gallery. And it has the first Zen garden of UK done by Yusata Tanaka in 1993.
Other main attractions are the Cathedral and the annexed Necropolis, the Lighthouse and George Square where you will find the famous City Chambers.
There is a walking route you can do on your own to see the public art you can find on the street all around the city which is very interesting, and it helps you to visit the whole city in one day. This route is printed in lots of leaflets you can find in hostels and information points.
Don't forget to visit the Glasgow Green and the Modern Art Gallery (I would point out Buckanan, 1995)
