Travel tips
The best way to travel around Glasgow is to use the city’s easy to use Underground system. Stations are sign-posted with a large orange U. St Enoch is close to both our city centre hotels. For anyone travelling beyond the city centre or the West End it is best to use the bus and train networks. Get information on buses is by picking up individual timetables at the Travel Centre on St Enochs Square. Information on related services is also given at some bus stops. The suburban train network is also a fast and convenient way of getting around. If you are planning on staying in the city for a week or more it is worth while investing in a Zonecard, which covers all public transport networks and is valid for a week or a month.
If you want to avoid public transport you can hail a black cab anywhere in the city. There are also taxi ranks at Buchanan Street bus station and at Central and Queen Street train stations. Taxis operate all day and night and are extremely reasonable.
