Glasgow Tourist advices.

[Dexter St. Clair]

Still looking for hints of what to see off the beaten path in and around Glasgow. We are especially looking for possibilites of taking day trips out of Glasgow. But as we have no drivers license, we are depending on train or bus.

Any new attractions, pubs or restaurants to visit?

Kind regards from Oslo.

This gets you one day's travel for two in and around Glasgow on rail and Subway.

Roundabout ticket

The Roundabout ticket gives one-day unlimited travel by rail and Subway to over 110 stations in the Greater Glasgow area
Price: £6.00 for adults and £3.00 for kids from any staffed ScotRail station or SPT Travel Centre

The Daytripper ticket gives you unlimited travel for one day by rail, Subway, most buses, and some ferries in the Strathclyde region.
Price: £19.00 for two adults and up to four children or £10.70 for one adult and up to two children.

I can recommend Velvet Elvis for Burgers and a real juke box.

Thanks St. Clair.
We're definitly going to Velvet Elvis for some burgers.

Noticed that the daytripper map was covering quite a large area, are there any of the outside-Glasgow places worth a visit? We have visited Lanark back in 2004, but maybe Motherwell has something to offer for instance?

Besides, we would love to see a local band (indie, punk, ska, 80's) in a local place. What are the best places to look out for good concerts?

And please pardon my english.

Thank you for resurrecting this thread Pegasusfleck otherwise I would have missed one the best thread's I've read, so far, on the Forum - informative,interesting,polite and friendly.

I hope you and your girlfriend enjoy your second trip to Glasgow.
I'm a Glaswegian living in Ireland and well put it this way Glasgow is much better fun than the whole of Ireland put together
Also, if I lost the road back to Glasgow I wouldn't mind finding my feet in Norway too.

August 6th to August 17th!
Last year we just briefly visited the southside. Is the are around Queens Park any good?

A visit to Pollok Park and the Burrell Collection perhaps. You also have Bellahouston nearby and Scotland Street School has a great little tearoom in it.
