The Lighthouse

Mackintosh's first creation, the Lighthouse building today contains Scotland’s Centre for Architecture & Design, as well as the Mackintosh Interpretation Centre (with an overview of the life and work of the celebrated architect). Go up to the very top for drinks with a view.

Do & See

Glasgow has a wide selection of museums and galleries, many of which are free of charge to enter. In a way, the city itself is an open-air museum for architecture with a special focus on the works of the Scottish architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh. To get a good view of the city from above, climb one of the many hills Glasgow was built upon: some of the best bird's-eye views uncover from the Necropolis.
