Glasgow has a distinct feel that makes it different from its more well-known neighbor, Edinburgh. While it may not have the same big attractions, this city has a special appeal that many visitors enjoy. You might see some signs of its industrial past, and it often has grey and rainy weather—so remember to bring an umbrella! One of the best things about living in Glasgow is the cost of living; eating at places like Burger King or local shops is affordable. The friendly locals also make the city welcoming. With street art and local pubs, there's always something cultural to see. However, public transportation is not as wide-ranging as in other cities, which could make it difficult to travel around. And if you’re not used to the Scottish accent, you may need to pay close attention! Overall, Glasgow offers a mix of city life and local friendliness that makes it a good place to visit.

It's kinda dull, especially the old town. IMO Edinburgh feels more charming. At least the price to live here is not insane if you stick to Lidl, Tesco or Burger king. The weather is grey and rainy here, but people and the vibes are amazing here. Not many tourists choose to come here, and it is def more affordable than other UK cities. So if you don't mind a rainy and gloomy weather, you'll love... here.
