Glagow Cathedral is one of the top attractions in Glasgow so fo course we had to sit it for ourselves. The details of the architecture of this cathedral is just incrdible. The glass painting and the splendid design of the ceiling. You can't help but just be in awe and stare at them. I love that they remained the cathedral as it is , it has that gothic vibe, very atmospheric and feels like you have entered an ancient cathedral. The Cathedral's last entry is at 4:30 so make sure be there before the said time. It has an underground chapel as well so explore that too. We didn't have enough time so we just quickly saw everything and left when they closed.
No tickets required.
Address: Castle Street. Enjoy your visit.

Glasgow Cathedral: A Rich History, A Comprehensive Tour
Glasgow Cathedral, also known as St. Kentigern's or St. Mungo's Cathedral, is a Church of Scotland cathedral located in Glasgow, Scotland. Glasgow Cathedral has a rich history, dating back to before the Scottish Reformation, and was once a major church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Glasgow, as well as the episcopal seat of the Archbishop of Glasgow. Glasgow Cathedral is now under the jurisdiction of the Church of Scotland's Glasgow Presbytery.
The interior of the cathedral is exquisitely designed and unique, featuring not only the typical church spaces but also two underground areas: one is the Lower Right Wing Chapel, and the other is the tomb of St. Mungo.
Moreover, the cathedral, together with the adjacent graveyard and the neighboring St. Mungo Museum, forms a spectacular cathedral precinct. Visitors can fully explore the development history of Glasgow Cathedral and enjoy a comprehensive tour of the cathedral area.

Glasgow!
The first picture was about the Glasgow night market, there was a lot of food choices as include the eastern and the western food which mainly contains desert. There are also several theme park activities for adult and children which definitely worth spending your time with your family. The cathedral was nice and breath taking which the window reflects the sun pretty well.#Glasgow
