Couldn't find one in central Glasgow. Can you reccommend?

Hello all,

My fiance and I are traveling to Glasgow via Edinburgh Airport (don't ask...), and we would like to know the easiest way to get from Edinburgh Airport to Glasgow. We will have a lot of baggage so we would really like to avoid multiple stops and transfers. What do you all recommend?

Thanks in advance!

Hi all

I'm coming to Glasgow later this month but a severe travel addiction means that I don't have much money for accommadation. I was thinking of staying in the Etap hotel at Springfield Quay. However, although it does not look too far from the centre I did notice on the map that the Clyde and the M8 stand between the hotel and the city centre. How easy is it to get around? Anyone know about public transport?

Is Glasgow bigger than Dublin?

I would like to take an early morning swim in a public swimming bath not far from the National Express Coach station, strathclyde. Can you give me details of where and how to get there? Also how does a person get from Glasgow to Craigluscar,Bike Trail,Dunfermline, Fife, by public transport?

Hello friends:

Could anybody tell me good travel agencies in Glasgow (mostly specializing in Iceland)

Thanks.

I'm visiting some family over paddys day & i was just wondering if anyone knew of any good pubs or clubs in central Glasgow in which to celebrate? Live music venues would be good too, i like a bit of the Wolfe Tones! :-)

Myself and a couple of friends are thinking of working for the summer in Britain. There're a few cities we are considering going to and to help us narrow our (very long) list I was just wondering if anyone would like to offer some input as to whether or not Liverpool would be a good choice for the summer.
We'd be looking for somewhere where
- Job availibility won't be a problem
- A decent nightlife for 20 year olds
- Cheap cost of living, or at least, not expensive
- There's a nice amount of touristy things to do.

Really, REALLY appreciate feedback!

Hello,

I will be staying at the Travel Lodge Central 11 Hill Street, Glasgow.
Can we walk there from Glasgow Central station or from Buchanan Bus station?

please advise,

cheers!

Hi!

In Mid May we will be 2 female travellers heading to Glasgow City Center. We need affordable accomodation for a month and was wondering if anyone new of a Hostel that could do this or a place that can rent fully furnished appartments at a reasonable price for that length of time?

Thanks in advance!!

I am going to spend the holidays in Scotland and wondering if there are tours going over Christmas. I am thinking a 2 or 3 days highlands tour.
Thank you

I am going to Glasgow for a conference but I have extended my stay to go sightseeing. Besides the museums, art galleries and shops I have checked already I want to know if there is any day trip available to go to Loch Ness in Winter (I am going in November...).
And any other off the beaten path info people who have been there already want to share, regarding culture and scottish customs.
Thank you.

I would like to know which airlines are the best and most reliable, as well as economical, for booking on-line tickets to Glasgow from Athens, Greece. Are there possibly any direct flights? My friend here in Athens wants to go to Glasgow on the 23rd October and return to Athens on the 30-31st October.

Does anyone possibly know of any good discount or package deals at this time of the year?

Thank you for your help in advance. Janet in Athens

Seeking advice in the interests of International Relations....

I've got a friend coming over from India to visit us in Oxford next month and he's posed a tricky question for me??

After seeing us, he's off on a business trip to Glasgow to see a cusomer on Friday and then he's got a weekend to kill before taking the train back down to Leeds for some more business on Monday.

He's asked me what I would suggest he does with his weekend in Glasgow I think he's looking for a break into the country. Not knowing the area that well I've suggested Loch Lomond but not sure if thats a bit far.

Another thing I have to bear in mind is that he's not going to be getting a hire car or anything like that so he's reliant on public transport.

I know this is a bit vague but he's only over for a short while and I don't want to spoil his trip by giving him a bum steer!!!

Any advice I can pass on would be appreciated??

Cheers

Why are there Polish clubs in the city and where are the monuments to the poles that were built here and who is the general who was in glasgow thru the war?

Heard from friends that the commentary was a fascinating intro to the city but cant find the website of co that does this.Any hints to find out about this

We want to do hamden the home of international football,+Ibrox + Parkhead whats the best way of travelling around?

Has anyone ever stayed at Blue Sky Hostel? Either the West End (3 Bank Street) location or the City Centre (65 Berkeley Street) one? I was thinking of staying at City Centre but one of the people on here told me that it's not a good place for a female traveling alone to be at night. Any thoughts?

Also, I am considering staying at Glasgow Youth Hostel (which is at 7-8 Park Terrace). Some reviews I read say that it is kinda far from city centre. Is this true? And there's a huge hill to hike I also read?

I want to stay at a hostel as I want to meet people since I'll be traveling alone. So I'm not really interested in single room hotels.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. THANK YOU!!!

Hi there! I am a 27-year-old female travelling alone to Scotland (Glasgow and Edinburgh) in a month. I am looking for a bed and breakfast in a safe area but also in a fun, culturally rich area. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am looking for a place in Glasgow for 2 nights and Edinburgh for 5 nights.

Hello. I have to get transferred to Glasgow International airport from the Queens train station. Is there any airport shuttle buses from the station or i have to catch a taxi? Im travelling in the day time...

Hi there!
My sister and I are travelling from Canada next week and i'm trying to figure out how to get from Glasgow to Stirling by either bus or train. I've looked at a couple of rail websites, but i'm not convinced i'm looking at the right thing. Can you give me some direction please? Any information you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Will be in Glasgow in September/October, and want to find out what bands might be in concert during that time.

Hello,

I am thinking on staying at the Blue Sky Hostel, but it has two locations: City Centre & West End and I don’t know which one is better in regards of accommodation and location (close to the public transportation and main attractions). Which one do you suggest and why?

Thanks!

Carla

Hello all,

So many visitors from Poland are in Glasgow what is the route.I know there is a lot of Poles in great Britain but they have an uncanny affection for the city of Glasgow.What am i missing?

we 4 of us have two days in the city before flying out to tenerife+ tickets to a concert in the clyde auditorium for a concert. where do you suggest we stay?We ideally want a quiet place near the exhibition place but £ is a big consideration as we want it for porto de la cruz

Hoping someone can tell me where is a decent place to stay and some of the good pubs in Glasgow near the Carling Glasgow Academy. Doesn't necessarily need to be the Ritz Carlton, but then again I don't want the Bates Motel either. Something decent for a modest price. I don't even care if its a hostel, as long as they offer private rooms with like a 2-3 person maximum. I'm looking for something near the Academy-somewhere within reasonable staggering distance because I will be drinking heavily celebrating the reunion of the Verve, which is why I will be in Glasgow in the first place. Also, I wouldn't mind knowing what the best combination of reliability and economy is for getting to and from Prestwick Airport, as I have a flight to Latvia a couple days later. Whoever can help out the best wins an ice cold pint of your choice, personally paid for by me. :) if not that, then some mad props.

Thanks,

Hello!

I am planning my first trip to Glasgow and need a suggestion on a clean, nice, unexpensive and friendly hostel. Any suggestions?

What is the cheapest way to travel from Edinburgh to Glasgow?

Thanks!

Hi again, I have two more questions:

1) which hostel in the centre of Glasgow is nice & affordable?

2) how to get from Glasgow Prestwick Airport to the city centre?

Thank you!
