School trip to Glasgow

Vibrant Metropolis & Highlands

Scotland's largest city, not far from the west coast, is one of Europe's cultural cities and a city of contrasts – modern architecture mixed with historic and industrial buildings. Glasgow is known for its great heritage, open-minded people and vibrant music scene. It also offers 20 museums and art galleries and is much wilder than Edinburgh and Stirling. In just one hour you can reach Scotland's largest loch, Loch Lomond, located in the Trossachs National Park in the southwest of the Highlands.
