But you can fly to the old industrial city (which was the place to be during the industrial revolution) – round trip – for under NOK 2,500. Eat, sleep, see and drink well.
Travel website Time Out ranked the city as the world’s friendliest in 2022. And that’s exactly why you should go.

See: Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum
Glasgow’s most visited attraction, not without reason.
The famous Kelvingrove Museum houses so much. Dinosaurs, elephants, urban history, warplanes and great art by van Gogh on the same floor surface.
Best of all? It’s completely free.

Eat: The Five March restaurant
We were recommended by a Scotsman to eat at the neighborhood restaurant Five March, within walking distance of the above museum, as we had a couple of hours to kill in Glasgow city center before our flight home.
Snacks, local beer (plus whiskey) and good drinks are served here.
Hip. Cool. It also tastes good.
Travel magazine Condé Nast has placed it on the list of best places to eat in Glasgow.
