Overview

Explore Glasgow at your own pace with a self-guided walking tour on your phone. You get a clear map of 8 stops, simple directions through Google Maps, and immersive audio stories you can play when you reach each location.

The route covers the city’s "Historic Spine," taking you from the medieval roots of the East End to the Victorian grandeur of the City Centre. You will visit iconic sites including Glasgow Cathedral, the Necropolis, George Square, and the Duke of Wellington statue (yes, the one with the cone).

Start anytime, pause whenever you like, perhaps for a whisky at our final stop, and explore freely. No groups, no schedules. Audio and text available in 7 languages.

What to expect

Glasgow Cathedral
Pass by

Start your walk at Glasgow Cathedral. Just open Ciceru nearby to begin exploring the city’s medieval heart from the outside, where Saint Mungo’s story and centuries of stonework frame the most important surviving Gothic structure in Scotland.
The Friends of Glasgow Necropolis
15m

View the Necropolis from its pathways and open terraces. This Victorian city of the dead rises above Glasgow with mausoleums, obelisks, and panoramic views that can all be admired without entering any interior structures.
Provand's Lordship
Pass by

Pause outside the city’s oldest surviving house, a 1471 stone building that tells its story through its walls, roofline, and garden rather than interior rooms.
City Chambers
Pass by

Admire the grand Victorian facade of the City Chambers from George Square. The exterior alone broadcasts Glasgow’s industrial confidence and civic pride without needing to step inside.
Pass by

See GoMA from its front steps and enjoy the Duke of Wellington statue, complete with its famous traffic cone. The building’s neoclassical exterior and the cone’s comedic defiance are the stars of the stop.
Buchanan Street
15m

Walk along the street and appreciate its Victorian facades, architectural details, and street life from the outside. This is Glasgow’s open air stage of commerce.
Argyll Arcade
15m

View the historic 1827 cast iron and glass arcade from its entrances. Its glittering interior lanes are visible from the thresholds, preserving your external only experience.
Pass by

Wrap up your tour outside The Pot Still. Take a moment to appreciate its classic pub frontage and the atmosphere spilling onto Hope Street before ending your walk.
