City advice
What to pack
Pack for all weather, waterproof, fleece and shorts
Glasgow has ever-changing weather, the Gulf Stream keeps the climate mild but can range from sunny in the morning to rainy in the evening. Pack for all eventualities.
Getting around
Public transport is never far away
Partick station is a transport hub for the West End of Glasgow. You can travel by bus, train, bike or underground (Subway) from this station.
Book before you go
Ox and Finch
My favourite restaurant in Glasgow. It's intimate and perfect for small groups of people who are keen to share as it's Scottish fusion tapas style.
