| Comment | Lively city. I feel like there's genuinely something for everyone. If you're looking for a gritty city experience, it has that. But if you're looking for fancy, elegant architecture, gardens, greenery, it has that too (eg. West End, Pollok Park, large parts of the Southside).
Perfect if you're into music. A great and active music scene, probably to rival anywhere else in the UK. Gig venues of all sizes, from pub basements where you can see local acts, to mid size halls (CCA, the O2 Academy, Barrowlands), and big concert venues and arenas
(Hydro, Royal Concert Hall, Armadillo, Hampden). Pretty much every international band that does a European tour stops by here, and there's always free local music to be found in pubs in the centre and various music festivals through the year (Celtic Connections, TRNSMT, Kelvingrove Summer Night, Great Western Fest).
For reading, you've got the Mitchell Library, local neighbourhood libraries, as well as a fair few independent bookshops (particularly clustered around the West End).
Living costs in terms of food, eating out, entertainment, and even rent, are relatively low for what you get. Though rent does seem to be creeping up.
It's easy to meet people - probably more so than anywhere else I've ever lived. |
