Is Glasgow better than Edinburgh?

They are different. Edinburgh is for history/views. Glasgow is for shopping/music/nightlife.

How far is the airport?

Glasgow Airport (GLA) is 20 mins by bus (£10 return). Watch out—Prestwick Airport is much further away!

Where is the best nightlife?

Sauchiehall Street for clubs, Finnieston for cocktails, Ashton Lane for pubs.

Glasgow is Scotland's capital of style. It's friendlier, grittier, and often cheaper than Edinburgh. Stay in a Victorian townhouse or a modern glass tower.
