Have a friend visiting for a couple of days who wants to see the sites of Glasgow. As I live here I have a few ideas but am looking for more fun things to do rather than the usual, pub, theatre, restaurants. Any suggestions welcome!

The Burrell Collection in Pollock. St Enoch's Square, and George Square. I visit Glasgow a few times a year and always have a great time. Have fun.

Jonglers comedy club is great
George Square (with a Greggs lol)
Ashton Lane (west end) is great for some dinner or a night out. There are no neds around as there are in city centre! The cinema on Ashton Lane, The Grosvenor, is well worth going to. The seats are big comfy leather ones or you can hire a big comfy leather sofa on the back row. And you can drink in it - there is a bar.
The X-scape snowboarding centre at Braehead.

the necropolis is good, especially at night, iv seen deer up thr a few times! edinburgh is great and you can book a megabus from queen st station to edinburgh for a pound!! just if you get bored in glasgow! theres the science centre and imax which i dont think any1 has mentioned! art galleries will be good when its open, transport museums just across the road and finish with a walk in kelvingrove park and a drink in one of the many partik establishments!!

Take one of those tourist bus trips around the city then ask your friend what he/she wants to do. I've lived in a number of cities in the U.S. and found out I knew more about what to do because I took the tourist bus.
When in Glasgow, I enjoyed the Tenement House.

Well i'm sure Kelvingrove art gallery opens up again in 2 days... And if its a nice day, there's the botanic gardens and the peoples palace... And you can't beat a walk in Glasgow Green!

Well if it is shopping you want then where else other than the town centre, for all its falts Glasgow has to be the next best thing to London when it comes to shopping. It has the most ammount of shops.
