Vibrant Street Art in Glasgow
Massive murals, impressive arts, creating vibrant street art in hidden corners of Glasgow. All around the center, the City Council commissioned artists to upgrade abandoned walls in the city. The first appeared in 2008 and there are now 25 remarkable murals.
From the quirky to bizarre, radical to conservative, doing a self-guided tour is the best way to discover it. It is easily walkable you cross the city pavements and discover unusual places.
I thought I knew Glasgow after seven months. Anyway, I spent four hours doing the trail enjoying the view and the secret gems of Glasgow. It was sunny, absolutely stunning on this February month.
I cannot recommend one, in particular, just look as little as possible the murals before doing it. It will be surprising!
