Glasgow

I spent two days in Glasgow, and it was a wonderful experience. I arrived in the afternoon on the first day, so I didn’t have much time to explore far. After checking into my hotel, I decided to take a walk around the city centre. I started with Buchanan Street, which is one of the main shopping streets in Glasgow. The street was full of life, with many shops and cafes. After that, I visited the Gallery of Modern Art, which is located in the city centre as well. In front of the gallery, I saw the famous statue of the Duke of Wellington with a traffic cone on his head. I had read about this before coming to Glasgow, and it was funny to see it in real life. It is now seen as a symbol of the city's sense of humor. Inside the gallery, there were interesting modern art pieces and exhibitions. It was a nice way to end my first day. On the second day, I woke up early and walked up a hill called Necropolis, located near the cathedral, to watch the sunrise. The view of the city in the early morning light was peaceful and beautiful. After that, I went to Glasgow Cathedral, a historic and impressive building with Gothic architecture. I spent some time walking around the inside and also visited the nearby St Mungo Museum. Later in the day, I visited the University of Glasgow. The university buildings are old and beautiful, and they look like something from a movie. I walked around the campus and also visited the nearby Kelvingrove Park, which is a lovely green area perfect for relaxing. In the evening, I returned to the hill to see the sunset. The sky turned orange and pink, and it was a peaceful way to finish my short trip. I hope to return in the future and explore even more.
