Glasgow, Scotland

Glasgow is the largest city in the country of Scotland that’s rich in arts and culture. June to August is the best time to visit because of its up to 17-hours daylight.

March to May on the other hand is the time when the city is filled with gorgeous flowers. You’ll see structures that boast of gorgeous Edwardian and Victorian architecture. Some of these buildings include the Glasgow Cathedral and The City Chambers. There are also various museums and art galleries to check out such as Glasgow Science Centre that has science exhibits for children, People’s Palace and Winter Gardens where you can learn more about the city’s history and its people, and Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, which is considered as its grandest museum.

This is one of the places with the most natural beauty. Explore its vast wilderness by foot or using a dogsled or ski. You may also go for a boat ride or a helicopter ride and feast your eyes with the glaciers and gorgeous mountains.
