the necropolis

Great outdoor experience, especially if you are interested in graveyards. Give it a try on a typical, sunny Scottish day :)

This is well worth a visit if you're in Glasgow. The sheer size is amazing, and it's very interesting to look at all the tombs. I even found the tomb of the author of Wee Willie Winkie :)

you should go there on an overcast day, it certainly has got atmosphere and you get great views over the city

A visit to a graveyard may not seem at first like a good day outBut if you have any interest in history , architecture or just keeping fit then this may be the place to goBuilt in 1833 it has become the final resting place to many of Glasgow's "great and the good"From a simple gravestone to magnificent mausoleums the site holds many constructions worth seeing all in a traffic free peaceful location of Glasgow

An interesting way to see the 'key players' in wealthy Victorian Glasgow, as well as offering nice views of the city and Cathedral.

The atmosphere was amazing! Our tour guide, Annette, was phenomenal. She was incredibly knowledgeable and very entertaining. When I come back, I'll do the tour again

A must see in Glasgow. Atmospheric glimpse into a very different (yet relatively recent) era when the acquisition of wealth was flaunted even in death.Don't miss the spectacular view of the Necropolis from top floor of the neighbouring museum.

Full of monuments to famous Glaswegians (and Scots!).Look out for the sign over the arch which says "trusteth in Cod". Slight fishy error!

Great history to see here and good views of the city and cathedral. I had a interesting time here. The cathedral and the necropolis are must visit in Glasgow.

Superbly morbid and spectacular Glasgow attraction.If you're at all a necrophiliac (not in the literal sense, hopefully) and in fond of morbid places to visit, when in Glasgow this is the place to go. A veritable city of the dead, as the name implies, it is a huge area of gravestones, tablets, figures and mausoleums that stretches for a mile and towers over the cathedral area in Glasgow, anchored by St. Mungo's (Glasgow) Cathedral just below.Glasgow is not my favorite Scottish town, but this is my favorite place in Glasgow. Recommended!

Went for a walk to the top of the necropolis. Simply amazing. A wonderful view of the city and the cathedral. Beautiful, historical, experience. And right next door to a verra nice brewery. A good morning would be Glasgow cathedral, cathedral house across the street, then to the necropolis just a minutes walk away, and then to the brewery.

Gorgeous views. The tombstones were so old and amazing. Its a very peaceful place to take a walk. Very old.

I often take visitors to Glasgow to the Cathedral and the Necropolis and they love the history and the views of Glasgow that you get from the hill. On a sunny day it is a lovely, tranquil place to take a break and admire the city.

What an amazing place to visit.The tombstones were amazing and it was interesting to read about the merchants and people of Glasgow. There is a fantastic view of the cathedral and the city from the top.

Absolutely brilliant and easy to access. It's a good place to see the heritage of Glasgow and a beautiful contrast between the past (the Cathedral) and the present (the city centre). Special place.
