We suggest starting at St Enoch Square—named after the mother of Glasgow's patron saint—for the best route, though you can start/finish anywhere.

Interactive Exploration: Navigate a 2.7km walk. Solve riddles using imagination and observation at stops like the grand Glasgow City Chambers or the historic Tolbooth Steeple at Glasgow Cross to unlock your next spot. Total activity lasts ~2.5 hours on average, depending on your pace and breaks.

Your Tour, Your Way: Customize your route, change the order of places, or skip stops to fit your schedule. Pause for a break to admire the Duke of Wellington’s traffic cone or grab a coffee in the Merchant City, and resume exactly where you left off. There is no time limit—your access lasts for a full year.

Sorting, ranking, and search results

Activity name

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
