Itinerary

Main stop

Castle Street, Cathedral Precinct, G4 0QZ Glasgow

Start your walk at Glasgow Cathedral. Just open Ciceru nearby to begin exploring the city’s medieval heart from the outside, where Saint Mungo’s story and centuries of stonework frame the most important surviving Gothic structure in Scotland.

2 Castle Street, , G4 0UZ Glasgow

View the Necropolis from its pathways and open terraces. This Victorian city of the dead rises above Glasgow with mausoleums, obelisks, and panoramic views that can all be admired without entering any interior structures.

3 Castle St., , G4 0RH Glasgow

Pause outside the city’s oldest surviving house, a 1471 stone building that tells its story through its walls, roofline, and garden rather than interior rooms.

82 George Square, , G2 1DU Glasgow

Admire the grand Victorian facade of the City Chambers from George Square. The exterior alone broadcasts Glasgow’s industrial confidence and civic pride without needing to step inside.

Queen St, G1 3AH Glasgow City

See GoMA from its front steps and enjoy the Duke of Wellington statue, complete with its famous traffic cone. The building’s neoclassical exterior and the cone’s comedic defiance are the stars of the stop.

Glasgow

Walk along the street and appreciate its Victorian facades, architectural details, and street life from the outside. This is Glasgow’s open air stage of commerce.

55 Argyll Arcade, G2 8BG Glasgow

View the historic 1827 cast iron and glass arcade from its entrances. Its glittering interior lanes are visible from the thresholds, preserving your external only experience.

Hope St, G2 2TH Glasgow City

Wrap up your tour outside The Pot Still. Take a moment to appreciate its classic pub frontage and the atmosphere spilling onto Hope Street before ending your walk.
