Local knowledge for Glasgow
Where to stay
Budget hostels cluster in the City Centre along Sauchiehall Street and Argyle Street, within walking distance of most of what you'll actually do. The West End around Byres Road is a calmer alternative with quick access to the City Centre via the SPT Clockwork Orange subway loop.
Getting around
- Buy a day ticket on the Clockwork Orange subway if you're moving between the West End and City Centre. Single fares stack up on a 15-station loop and a day pass cuts the cost significantly.
- The Barras market runs weekend mornings on Gallowgate. It's a genuine secondhand market, not a craft fair, good for cheap clothes and gear, and the stretch of London Road nearby has affordable cafes well away from the George Square tourist drag.
- Kelvingrove Art Gallery on Argyle Street is free and open daily. It holds one of the better municipal art collections in the UK. Go there before paying for anything else in the city.
When to go
Hostels fill up and prices rise in July and August, especially around TRNSMT festival at Glasgow Green. November through early March, outside the New Year period, is when rates drop and availability opens up.
