From incredible gothic architecture, contemporary art spaces, fascinating museums, bustling high streets and fantastic shopping centres, Glasgow has it all.
And, thanks to Stena Line, a day trip to Scotland’s biggest city has never been easier.
The Swedish-owned ferry company is inviting customers to leave their cars, and cares, at home and enjoy a hassle-free, coach trip to Scotland.
Crossing the Irish Sea in just two hours and 15 minutes, passengers can relax, unwind and enjoy the unrivalled style and comfort of Stena Superfast.
Your holiday starts the second you set foot onboard and those seeking instant relaxation are invited to take a dip in the Jacuzzi or enjoy some time out in the sauna at the Pure Nordic Spa, where day-trippers are also entitled to 20% off all treatments.
On arrival in Cairnryan, guests will travel via coach, to the heart of their destination and, when it’s time to leave, brought back to the ferry.
It really couldn’t be simpler, all that is left for you to do is to plan how to spend your day. To help, Stena Line has compiled a list of family-friendly adventures you can enjoy in Glasgow.

George Square and the City’s Chambers
- Named after King George III, the square was a muddy hollow until the 18th century when it began its transformation into what it is now – an insta worthy example of a stunning public space that’s not to be missed!

The entire collection of the Hunterian is recognised as an outstanding example of a collection of national significance and of fundamental benefit to the life and culture of Scotland.
