From a peaceful urban oasis to an early 20th-century time capsule, there’s so much to discover in Glasgow. We’ve made it easy for you to plan your trip with a 2-day itinerary, so you don’t miss anything!

Day 1

Split your time between Mackintosh at the Willow with its incredible Charles Rennie Mackintosh-designed interiors, and the Tenement House, an authentic time capsule of life in early 20th-century Glasgow.

A close-up of some of the details in a Mackintosh-designed tea room, including a tear-drop shaped mirror on the wall. Purple glass panels line the walls.

A tea room with lots of square tables, covered in white linen with a glass top over each. The chairs are in the ladderback style designed by Mackintosh. Gauze panels cover the windows, which feature Mackintosh stencilled designs.

An exterior view of the row of red sandstone buildings that contains the Tenement House in Glasgow. There are leafy trees and shrubs in the gardens.

A collection of glass bottles and old cleaning products stand on a shelf beside a kitchen sink at the Tenement House. A mangle is screwed on to the edge of the sink, and a wash board stands behind.

Day 2

Round off your trip around Glasgow with a visit to the urban oasis of Greenbank Garden and then pop along the road to admire the classical elegance of Holmwood, Alexander ‘Greek’ Thomson’s finest domestic creation.
