  • There isn't an entry fee into Glasgow Cathedral but believe me you won't hesitate putting money into the donation box on your way out. It is a magnificent place to visit. The cathedral is breathtaking when you first see it, perfectly positioned with the graves on a steep hill behind it. There are plenty people around to ask about different things. It is like a tardis with room after room and on different levels. I will let the pictures do the talking, I couldn't do it justice. Give yourself plenty time to see everything.
  • Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, the church has consecrated since 1197 and has found since the 12th century. The church is very, very huge, you feel its greatness and the greatness of its history since approaching it, and you feel that you are very small in comparison with its magnitude. Entrance for tourists is free, and no prior reservation is required. Highly recommended.
