Discover GLASGOW
It still surprises many visitors, but Glasgow is much larger and more populated than Edinburgh. This is due to its industrial history. There are very few very old buildings here, except for the cathedral. The architecture is mostly from the Industrial Revolution and the Victorian era. With the 1950s and 1960s, deindustrialization hit its inhabitants hard. Glasgow became synonymous with poverty, unemployment and violence. Bold development plans brought the city out of the doldrums and its neighborhoods were reborn in the late 1980s to become a cultural, commercial, festive and academic hub at the forefront of British society. One cannot get enough of this exciting and passionate city, designated City of Music by UNESCO. As a cultural capital, the metropolis is alive with its music scene, its many restaurants of different nationalities and its nightclubs.
