What to do in Glasgow
Explore Kelvingrove Art Gallery, housed in a beautiful castle, and home to masterpieces from Dalí, Rembrandt, and Rubens.

Stay in a B&B Glasgow
Staying in a bed and breakfast in Glasgow means waking up to a warm, hearty full Scottish breakfast with locally sourced sausages, black pudding, eggs, and freshly-baked bread. It’s a cosy, personal experience where hosts often share insider tips about the city they call home, perhaps where to get the very best shortbread or a (delicious, we promise) haggis supper. Plus, B&Bs offer charming, character-filled accommodations that make your stay feel like home rather than a hotel. Perfect for a true taste of Glaswegian hospitality!
Best Time to Visit Glasgow

Getting to and around Glasgow
Getting to your Glasgow B&B is easy via the International Airport, well-connected train stations, or the M8. Once you’re there, the city’s extensive bus network and efficient trains make getting around simple. You can pay on the bus with cash or a card, or download the First Bus, McGill’s, or West Coast Motors apps for a seamless experience. The compact city centre and West End are perfect for walking, and most B&Bs are close to key attractions, but if you’d rather not walk, hop on the iconic Glasgow Subway or flag down a taxi or Uber.
