An authentic and unspoilt metropolis, the city of Glasgow is a great destination for your language trip. Between Victorian and industrial architecture, and unusual places to visit after your English course, you are sure to have a lot of fun during your language study stay in Glasgow. Discover the hidden treasures and riches of the city that you will be able to discover after your days at an English language school!

Presentation of the city before your language stay in Glasgow

The city of Glasgow is located in the west of Scotland. It is the largest city in Scotland with a population of over 600,000. The metropolis is located 1 hour by car from the Scottish capital of Edinburgh.

The Glasgow metropolis is a subtle mix of chic, modern and industrial style, between Victorian buildings and design structures. Although the city did not enjoy a favourable reputation for many years, it has managed to bounce back and rebuild itself into a very attractive new image. It is now popular with many students and tourists from all over the world and especially with lovers of architecture, history, modern and ancient art. It also attracts those who love the vibrant nightlife, with its lively stages, concerts, festivals, pubs and trendy bars.

In addition, the hospitality and friendliness of Glasgow's people is legendary. You will be able to converse in English without fear or constraint with native speakers to perfect your lessons learned in your English school.

What to visit in Glasgow after your language course?

There are of course a multitude of outings to do after your English course in Glasgow. Among them, you can for example visit :

The Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. This is one of the most important museums in Scotland. In this architecturally sophisticated museum there are more than 8,000 works of art from the Renaissance to the Surrealist period. Each room of the museum has its own theme. And as always in the UK, museums are free, so take advantage of the opportunity to experience culture for free during a language study holiday in Scotland!
The Glasgow Necropolis. Glasgow's Victorian-era cemetery is located to the east of the city's cathedral. It's an unusual place that you must absolutely visit since it is one of the most beautiful cemeteries on the continent. There are 3500 tombs and 50,000 people buried in this necropolis, including the upper middle class. You will discover imposing funerary monuments, statues, gargoyles and crosses that were built by famous architects and sculptors, such as Charles Mackintosh or James Hamilton.
The Hunterian museum at the University of Glasgow. With this two-in-one visit you will not only be able to admire the imposing Gothic architecture of the University of Glasgow which is fabulous, but also the Hunterian Museum. In this museum you can find the collection of the student of the same university, William Hunter. You will discover unusual finds and things such as dinosaur bones, organs enclosed in glass containers or geological manifestations!
The green spaces of the city. In order to review your English lessons in the afternoons or evenings, relax and unwind in the city's various beautiful green spaces such as Glasgow Green, which is the oldest park in Scotland! Other majestic parks are scattered throughout the city...
The West End bar crawl. After a busy week in an English language school, you can relax and unwind by doing a pub crawl. Simply take the city's underground (one of the oldest in Europe) and stop at the bars in the stations for a drink. This flagship activity is called the Subcrawl!

And don't forget to take a picture of the Duke of Wellington statue with his construction site on his head, its story is particularly funny! It stands proudly in front of the Modern Art Gallery...

Which area of Glasgow should I choose to attend English classes?

In order to accommodate you for the duration of your English course in Glasgow, you will be able to choose your accommodation in three different areas of the city. You can choose your accommodation in the area of the English language school you have selected, or you can choose to live in an area close to your English school.

The West End Neighborhood

The West End district is both elegant and relaxed. It is full of parks, thrift stores, pubs and restaurants of all kinds. It is the most popular area of Glasgow, far ahead of the city centre! If you like the lively student life, especially in the evenings, this is the area for you. Be careful though, it is more expensive in terms of accommodation than the city centre. Live language Glasgow school is located in the quiet area of Charing Cross.

The East End district

This is the residential area of the city. It is close to the city centre, but is much quieter than the latter. If you don't like the hustle and bustle of life in the neighbourhoods and prefer the quiet, this is the neighbourhood to choose. However, you will need to budget more than other areas of Glasgow for an overnight stay in a hotel or room rental.

The North West area

It's the romantic part of Glasgow. There are many restaurants, pubs and beautiful gardens. Although this area is not the most popular area of the city, it is the most economical in terms of budget to sleep in and will therefore satisfy even the smallest budgets!

How do I get to Glasgow from France?

For a language course in Glasgow, you can take the train or a flight from the French capital. Major airlines such as Air France do not have direct flights from Paris to Glasgow. Indeed, their routes make a stopover in the city of Edinburgh. On the other hand, low-cost airlines like EasyJet offer direct flights from Paris to Glasgow for an affordable price of around 100 euros, if you book your plane ticket in advance!

How do I get around Glasgow and the surrounding area?

Once in Glasgow, you will be able to travel within the city or outside of it using several means of transport.

By train: The city has two train stations and allows you to travel to outlying cities and even within England. The Central Station serves cities in England, while Glasgow Queen Street serves about 100 surrounding towns.
By bus: a bus service of about sixty lines serves the city, but also the outlying towns.
On foot: this is the cheapest and safest way to discover hidden and little-known treasures.
By bike: the municipality has set up a bike rental system, like the largest European cities. More than 500 bikes are available at 43 stations throughout the city, allowing you to get from one point to another quickly.
By Underground: its circular line takes you to the heart of Glasgow, the West End and the South End. If you want to travel regularly on the Underground, take a season ticket which will be more attractive in terms of fares. The Underground is nicknamed the Clockwork Orange, so don't be surprised if you hear a native speaker call it that to help you find your way around!

Useful information for a language trip to Glasgow

Finally, here is some practical information that will help you to start your language trip in Glasgow!

Parties and festivals take place throughout the year, at New Year's Day, Easter, May, August and Christmas.
