 George Square - A good focal
point and rest place by scotlandscotour
Its also got lots of information points (see picture), statues and tourist guides, and seats to rest on. Many times in the year it hosts events (like ice skating in winter).
Once you have found George Square and Sauchiehall Street, you can find your way around the centre faily easily. On its north side is the Queens Street train Station (for trains north and east) and Buchanan Street (leading to the coach station). Most of interest, is south and west of the Square. Leave a Comment

Just behind George Square are located Queen Street train Station and also the Buchanan Bus Station.
Mostly all main events in the city are in George Square and is one of most visited places in the city.
There is an Information Point here aswell,so if you need a map,some accomodation or some excursions brochures this is your place!. Leave a Comment

 Monuments Galore @ George
Square by weewatty
If I was a football supporter from abroad coming to watch my team play either Glasgow Rangers or Glasgow Celtic this is where I would congregate with my fellow supporters for a sing song, there are loads of bars and resturants on the streets off the square and Merchant City with its host of trendy pubs and eateries is just a stones throw away. Leave a Comment Directions: Beside Queens Street Railway Station and near Buchanan Street Bus Station

if your in george square your probably looking at it. big grand building behind the cenotaph(war memorial). it's free to get in and does 2 tours a day. monday to friday only. inside it is incredible, considering it's city council office. the staircase is the same as one inside the vatican( don't worry fellow rangers fans, your feet will not turn green and go septic if you wear a stout pair of walking shoes. ha ha). you can go into the debating chambers. see fine art old and new. the rooms are decorated with rare and extinct woods. function rooms are like something out of a royal palace. and of course you get to learn a wee bit about glasgow from the tour guide man who tries his best to be funny! not many people go to this so it's a good escape for an hour from the crowds outside. you will enjoy.

Another thing what makes George Square so great is it seems to be located near the center of the city so there's always a chance something's going on here. The day I went there wasn't much going on other then people just sitting around, but there's bound to be stuff going on here during the tourist months. Leave a Comment

This is the centre of Glasgow. Laid out in 1781, it gradually evolved into the beautiful city square that you can see today. It is dominated by the imposing City Chambers, and dotted with numerous statues and monuments.
The City Chambers is one of Scotland's greatest buildings. Designed by William Young, it was completed in 1890. The entrance is based upon the Arch of Constantine in Rome. Leave a Comment Directions: In the centre of Glasgow, bound by George, John, Cochrane, and Frederick streets.

When visiting a new city, we walk...a lot. So much so that we laugh about how we physically work harder when on holiday then at any other time in our regular lives. Why do I mention this? Because it was on one of our lenghty walks through the city of Glasgow on our first day there that we happend to stroll through George Square, passing right through city center.
This was a beautiful city square, accented wonderfully by flower beds (September), and various historical figures memorialized in statue form. This is also a particulary good spot to have a seat and watch the world go by.
In busier times, I understand that spectacular holiday celebrations and such take place in the square, and that is no surprise. With a great deal of public space like this, and the backdrop of City Chambers, it is the perfect place for Christmas and Hogmanay (New Years) revelry. Leave a Comment
