Getting around Glasgow
Bairdstravel spends a lot of time on Glasgow`s transport . The system
is not too expensive and quite good during peek times. At night always check a timetable. If your fit enough 90% of the tourist atractions are walkable. Get a map of the city and search for what you are after . The map at the top may help you . You can Zoom in and out .
A lot of the best things to see are in the westend.
Art Galleries,University,Transport museum and Hunterian are all beside each other in the Kelvingrovepark area. Merchant city is also another cool place to go.It is found in the centre of the city.
The Glasgow Subway is an underground metro line in Glasgow, Scotland. Opened on 14 December 1896, it is the third-oldest underground metro system in the world after the London Underground and the Budapest Metro. Originally known as the Glasgow District Railway, the system was renamed the Glasgow Underground in 1936. Despite this rebranding, many Glaswegians resolutely continued to refer to the network as "the Subway".A study examining the feasibility of an expansion into the city’s south side is in progress.
The stations on the underground, in clockwise order from the northernmost, are:
A ticket allows passengers to stay on the underground for as long as they like. Ticket prices to £1.20 for a single and £2.40 for a return [2010]

If on a bus at night always sit at the front [if possible ]. The rougher element tend to head to the back away from the driver`s eye`s.
Using you car at weekends park on Sauchiehall street beside the old eye infirmary FREE but you will have to walk a bit to be in the city centre.
