Fodor's Review:

Dominating the east side of George Square, this exuberant expression of Victorian confidence, built by William Young in Italian Renaissance style, was opened by Queen Victoria (1819-1901) in 1888. Among the interior's outstanding features are the entrance hall's vaulted ceiling, the marble-and-alabaster staircases, the banqueting hall, and Venetian mosaics. The debating chamber has gleaming oak panels and fixtures. Free guided tours lasting about 45 minutes depart weekdays at 10:30 and 2:30. Note that the building is closed to all visitors during occasional civic functions.

Cost: Free
Open: Weekdays 9-4:30
