Glasgow: Free tour murals

Tour description

The free Glasgow murals tour is a cultural and urban art tour. Glasgow's murals lend a unique beauty to this former industrial city, which now buzzes with life, culture, and diversity. Since the first mural was created in 2008, local artists and artists from around the world living in the city have adorned miles of building facades. The Glasgow Panda, Billy Connolly, The Cheapest Taxi in the World, and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, Sorry! are just a few of the murals by artists such as Smug, Klingatron, Rogue One, and Conzo & Globel, which now enjoy international recognition. We discover some of their best works during this tour of street art and modern culture. These murals are unique works of art that enrich the city center and have a positive impact by adding color and light to dull streets and lifeless alleys, making Glasgow more attractive to both residents and tourists. During our tour, we visit 10 of the most important murals in Glasgow city center. We discuss the history behind each artwork and what they represent: Scottish irony, history, myths, legends, sport, humor, and much more. What better way to discover the streets of this amazing city than through the murals, the artists, and the people!
