Introduction to Virtual Tour of Glasgow

Introduction to Virtual Tour of Glasgow

We're delighted to have you join us on this virtual adventure around Glasgow to introduce you to our amazing city. As you go through the tour, you can note places you would like to explore when you're in Glasgow. You might also want to take a bus tour with City Sightseeing Glasgow to cover a lot of the sights and add new stories, a bike tour with Gallus Pedals to show you around lots of the city with some exercise, or a gentle walking tour with Walking Tours in Glasgow to give you a more detailed insight to the city centre.

But for now, let's get exploring! In this video, I'll be introducing Glasgow and the tour and also giving some geographical context by zooming out to show Glasgow in relation to Scotland, the UK and Europe. The start of your inspirational journey!
