Glasgow has a wonderful cathedral. Never seen something more beautiful. You definitely need to visit . As I know they have choir singing in the evening Food is terrible but that’s typical for the uk
Posted: May 16, 2024Loving Glasgow so far. Here travelling for 5 months and enjoying every bit of it. I have been to Edinburgh, Inverness, Lovh Ness and a few other places in the Highlands so far and looking to travel some more in the next few days

I took the ferry from Belfast to Glasgow for a day trip! It was a very nice journey - had a lot of things to do and enjoy on the ferry itself! It was really good to see all the beautiful architecture in Glasgow. The steep roads and nice big parks were all at a walking distance from the City Centre! The people were also really kind and jolly in the streets!

Glasgow is one of the friendliest cities in the whole world :) I never feel unsafe walking alone/at night. Most of the crimes in Glasgow are due to gangs/football, so if you're not involved in that you'll be fine. There are some areas that should be avoided like Easterhouse and Possilpark. The nicest areas are the West End and Shawlands.
Posted: October 1, 2025Very friendly and helpful city and overall feel very safe. City centre is absolutely fine to walk alone at night but maybe still perhaps exercise caution in less crowded bits closer to outskirts or parks etc.

Glasgow has many weird and wonderful people. The streets at night, especially the weekend, can be a big wild, with many drunk people roaming around. No one will cause trouble with you, as long as you don't start it. It can be roudy and loud, bug generally the people of Glasgow look out for eachother

I have always felt decently safe in Glasgow. Nothing criminal has ever happened to me in the city. There are a lot of drunk people but that tends to happen more at nighttime. I walk around on my own fairly often.

Glasgow is very safe, in my opinion. There’s a bit of this or that, but I’ve walked home at night many times & felt safe. As always, take normal precautions but I’ve rarely felt threatened here. One thing to note though is that public transportation does shut pretty early, so if you’re in the pub past 11:45 on weekdays, there’s a likelihood of having to walk if you can’t afford a taxi.
