So today we are working on the theme of best way to see your city.
00:03
There are so many different pockets of Glasgow and for me, one of my favourite ways to see it
00:07
is on public transport, looking out the window, because it's the details of each area and each
00:12
neighbourhood that really give it its character. So today I've taken you on the City Sightseeing
00:16
Bus, the first time I've ever been on it, which is 21 stops and takes you through the city centre,
00:22
part of the East End and part of the West End. Let's start with an iced coffee at
00:26
in the East End. For anyone visiting Glasgow or even if you're from here and just want to
00:31
learn more about it, this is a great way to explore because it's hop-on and hop-off.
00:35
It stops at a good number of attractions and it's a really regular service.
00:39
Depending on the day and time of year, it runs between every 15 and 30 minutes.
00:43
You just need to find a bus stop with the logo and wait for the next one to arrive.
00:47
You can also track it online to see how far away it is.
00:50
It starts at George Square, you can buy a ticket online or on the bus.
00:54
It's open top, so if you're lucky enough to visit on a sunny day,
00:57
it's an absolutely gorgeous place to be. However, Glasgow is notorious for its rainy weather,
01:02
but fear not, there is shelter if that so is the case.
01:05
You can get a wee set of earplugs as well,
01:07
so you can listen to a live tour guide tell you all about the city.
01:10
Some of the main sites the bus visits include the People's Palace, the Goma,
01:14
Glasgow Central Station, the OVO Hydro, Riverside Museum,
01:19
Glasgow University, Kelvin Grove, the Hunterian Museum and the Beddisford.
01:23
The company behind the tour guides is soon launching a service that will also visit the south side.
01:29
It will pass by Ibrox Stadium and Celtic Park.
