A person travels all over the UK—Glasgow citywalk

👫For those visiting Glasgow for the first time, here is a recommended walking route in the city center. The whole journey takes about two hours, excluding exhibition time. 🏵️Route order: George Square—City Hall—Modern Art Museum—Central Railway Station—Buchanan Street—Hutcheson's Hall—Glasgow Cathedral—St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art—Necropolis 🏵️George Square is surrounded by majestic Victorian buildings (pictures 1️⃣2️⃣), especially the City Hall. You can walk around it, the corridor behind is beautiful (picture 3️⃣). There are free guided tours at 10:30 and 14:30 every day, no reservation is needed, just report directly. 🏵️Modern Art Museum (picture 4️⃣), this building was built in 1778, neoclassical style, three floors are three exhibition halls, the exhibits are mainly modern paintings and sculptures. 📍Name: Glasgow Gallery of Modern Arts 📍Time: Monday to Thursday and Saturday 10:00-17:00 Friday and Sunday: 11:00-17:00 🏵️Central Railway Station (pictures 6️⃣7️⃣) has a history of 140 years. Passengers come from all over the world. It is the second busiest railway station in Scotland. The building is Victorian style, very grand and spectacular. 🏵️Buchanan Street, this is Glasgow's famous shopping street, very lively. Recommend the Prince's Square here, its history can be traced back to 1841, the interior decoration is full of British style, the combination of old and new is perfect, especially the staircase in picture 8️⃣ is its highlight. There is also a small but very popular tea room that is easy to miss—Willow Tea Rooms (picture 9️⃣). The interior decoration, furniture and tableware are all designed by architect Mackintosh. 🏵️Hutcheson's Hall (picture 🔟), an elegant building built in 1805. 🏵️Glasgow Cathedral (pictures 12, 13), this cathedral is not to be missed. It is the only cathedral in Scotland that has survived the religious reform period and is well preserved to this day. Most of the buildings can be traced back to the 15th century, the majestic and dark interior of the Gothic architecture, has a solemn sense unique to the Middle Ages. 🏵️St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art is a religious museum located in Glasgow Cathedral Square, which was rebuilt on the basis of the bishop's palace. 📍Name: St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art 📍Time: Monday to Thursday and Saturday 10:00-17:00 Friday and Sunday: 11:00-17:00 🏵️The Necropolis (picture 14) is behind the cathedral, spread up a green hill, there are many gorgeous Victorian tombs, the surrounding scenery is as beautiful as a British oil painting.
