University of Glasgow
University of Glasgow was founded in 1451. It’s one of the oldest universities in Scotland. It’s a must-visit place when people visit Glasgow. The attractions nearby are Botanic Gardens, Kelvingrove Park and Kelvingrove Museum. I would recommend the Indian restaurant there, it’s called Mother’s India café. It’s an authentic Indian restaurant and you can see the beautiful Kelvingrove Museum if you sit beside the window!
HARRY POTTER University! 🏴
Glasgow University really made feel like I was in Hogwarts. Its majecstic design and architecture are incredible and impressive. Indeed a sight to behold and worth strolling if you are in Glasgow as it has a massive park.
The entire campus is just beautiful. This isn't just a place for students to study but also for common tourists who wants to see this reputable University.
It is a perfect place to take pictures with so many instagrammable spots in and outside the building itself.
Enjoy your Sctoland trip!

REVOLVE Indoor Cycling (Virtual Reality!)
Address - Oakfield Ave, Glasgow G12 8LT, United Kingdom (Located inside the Sport Stevenson building)
Highlights - Virtual cycling without Instructor. Cosy environment. Fun!
Rating - 5/5
If you are looking for a place to exercise and don't want to have an instructor, this exercise will be suitable for you!
Cycling is very common for the locals, hence they have come out with an indoor cycling class for those who like to cycle or training themselves to cycle or even those who can't cycle.
What I like the most about this is there is no instructor and the class is led by Virtual Reality (not the kind that you will need to wear VR googles)! Looking through their projector to do the class, it motivates you to cycle hard as you know that you are moving! Do note that there will be different timing to attend so do check out their website for the schedule.

Kelvingrove museum is a massive museum with lots of art collection and statues. I spend 3hours there but still not finish it. I recommend people who love arts can go there 3-4 times because in that way you can enjoy all the collections there. Furthermore, they have organs playing on weekends if you love music 🎶

For Art Lovers! ❤️🏴
#timetotravel
The Gallery of Modern Art is a gallery that displays contemporary arts in Scotland. It is one of the top tourist attractions in Scoland due to the statue right infront of it which always has a traffic orange cone on its head which signifies freedom of speech and the protector of the gallery. We managed to get in to this exhibition hall and saw Banksy's exhibition. It was so interesting. If you have time while being in Scotland, check it out and try to go and see an art exhibition if there are any when you are in the city. Enjoy!
Address: 111 Queen St, Royal Exchange Square, Glasgow

For museumgoers or artists, this is one of the recommended museum for you!
The museum itself contains a history of the building and the modern art makes the whole place become lovely. As the exhibition changes every few months, what you will be seeing will be different, hence do get excited!
After your visiting to the exhibition, you can head down to the Basement to visit the library or cafe, likewise visit the gift shop that sells all sorts of artistic souvenirs and gorgeous jewellery that you can buy as a gift for yourself, family or friends.
Lastly, do check out the statue outside the Museum where he is filled with history!

Glasgow Cathedral Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Oldest Building in Glasgow🏴
#timetotravel
Glagow Cathedral is one of the top attractions in Glasgow so fo course we had to sit it for ourselves. The details of the architecture of this cathedral is just incrdible. The glass painting and the splendid design of the ceiling. You can't help but just be in awe and stare at them. I love that they remained the cathedral as it is , it has that gothic vibe, very atmospheric and feels like you have entered an ancient cathedral. The Cathedral's last entry is at 4:30 so make sure be there before the said time. It has an underground chapel as well so explore that too. We didn't have enough time so we just quickly saw everything and left when they closed.
No tickets required.
Address: Castle Street. Enjoy your visit.

Glasgow!
The first picture was about the Glasgow night market, there was a lot of food choices as include the eastern and the western food which mainly contains desert. There are also several theme park activities for adult and children which definitely worth spending your time with your family. The cathedral was nice and breath taking which the window reflects the sun pretty well.#Glasgow

Buchanan Street Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
T2 Tea Glasgow
Address - 131 Buchanan St, Glasgow G1 2JA, United Kingdom (2 minutes walk from Gallery of Modern Art)
Highlights - Friendly staff. Very generous matcha tea ceremony. FREE Tasting!
Rating - 5/5
My friends and I decided to walk in T2 Tea store to take a look only.
But the staffs stopped us and let us know that they are doing the Japanese tea ceremony and told us that we can join in to watch! I would say that the staff is very knowledgable in explaining about the whole process.
Also, if you are lucky, sometimes if the store is not busy, the staffs will offer you their speciality of the day.
Our trip ended without purchasing anything. The staff was not pressured and said we could come back and look for them if we wanted anything in particular.

Apple Store Glasgow
Address - 147 Buchanan St, Glasgow G1 2JX, United Kingdom (Located in Buchanan Street)
Highlights - Apple retail store. Historic Building.
Rating - 5/5
Wonderful historic building that was previously used for Bank! Not surprised that they would use the building as their flagship store in Glasgow! Totally love the inner and outer design.
Yes, it gives a vibe that you should walk in and take a look! You don't have to stay long but a quick look is a must!
The store is located in Buchanan Street so if you are planning what you can go next, I would suggest to either pop by the Gallery of Modern Art museum which located 3 minutes walk away or visit the popular George Square park!

Buchanan Galleries, Glasgow
Address - 220 Buchanan St, Glasgow G1 2FF, United Kingdom
Highlights - Shopping district. Large & Modern shopping centre with a good selection of big name stores
Rating - 5/5
If you are thinking where you can shop around Glasgow, one of my recommendation will be Buchanan Galleries! Located in the middle of Glasgow, it’s a good central meeting-up point.
There are many selection of shops with various prices and they cater for all ages and tastes. Hence, you may want to do some research on the stores available before heading there - as there are around 90 stores so you may have to spend a longer time in walking around to do some shopping!
I suggested that if you are not really into shopping, you can walk around the area where there are some cinemas, museums, cafes and more nearby.
