Glasgow: 2-day itinerary

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 Pollok House with its vast servants’ quarters, and the Tenement House, an authentic time capsule of life in early 20th-century Glasgow.

A view of the parterre garden at Pollok House, looking towards the library. People sit on the grassy banks and stroll along the gravelled paths.

A couple enjoy afternoon tea in the café at Pollok House. They are seated at a table and a smiling server stands beside them with a teapot and jug. A large, tiered plate of sandwiches and cakes stands on the table.

A view of the parlour at the Tenement House, with two black horsehair chairs standing in the middle of the room. A large patterned rug covers most of the floor, and the walls are covered with a patterned paper. The boxbed recess can be seen in the far cover beside the piano.

A collection of old-fashioned cleaning products stands on the washboard beside the kitchen sink in the Tenement House. A mangle is attached to the edge of the sink.

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.
