The Best of Glasgow

Glasgow is hot. True, Edinburgh has its famous dance and theater festival, handsome Victorian and Edwardian architecture, Edinburgh Castle, and the Royal Museum of Scotland. But Glasgow is no slouch. Scotland's largest and friendliest city has undergone a major revitalization, going from depressed urban center to thriving metropolis almost overnight. With more parks per square mile than any other city in Europe, a shopping scene that beats Edinburgh's hands down, and the legacy of architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Glasgow is the place to be.
