Flights from Montreal to Glasgow

The best of Glasgow

A down-to-earth metropolis that’s all about fun.

A flight to Glasgow means a visit to one of the UK’s most dynamic—and largest—urban centres. Trendy and stylish but with a distinctly brazen edge, this is a city that’s proud of its working-class roots and leftist traditions.

Not to be missed

• The Glasgow West End Spy Trail: A self-guided walk with a fun mystery to solve, as you learn about the city’s history. Follow the trail directions through the historic area around Glasgow University, where the answers to the clues are located on monuments and buildings.

• King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut: Dubbed “quite possibly the finest small venue in the world” by NME, it is where some of the UK’s biggest bands launched their careers, including Pulp and Radiohead. Oasis got signed after a gig here.

• Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum: The most visited museum in the UK outside of London. Almost every piece comes with a paragraph in plain English explaining its significance, so even less arty types leave feeling satisfied.
