Glasgow: UNESCO Creative City of Music

There’s no real substitute for the magic of a live event, whether you end up tapping your foot to a Scottish ceilidh band in a traditional pub, feeling the swell of a world-class orchestra at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, or waving your hands around to a major international act at The OVO Hydro arena.

We’d recommend taking in each and every musical experience you can soak up in Glasgow, with music tours to join, architecture to admire, and record shops to browse.

When you arrive in Glasgow, there are plenty of ways to explore. You can easily explore the city centre on foot or take the bus or train around the city to travel further. But the best option is the Subway, the city’s underground metro system. It’s known in Glasgow as ‘the Clockwork Orange’, as it circles the city.

There are also over 800 nextbike's available for hire in Glasgow at 79 different locations. Check out the Ovo Bikes Green Route for a cycle route around some of the city’s sustainable businesses.
