Best time to visit Glasgow

The best time to visit Glasgow is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) months, when the weather is mild and the city is less crowded. Glasgow can be rainy year-round, but summer (June to August) is the peak tourist season, with festivals like the Glasgow International Comedy Festival and the Glasgow Film Festival attracting crowds. If you’re looking to avoid the peak season, visiting in the quieter winter months (December to February) is also a great option, especially around Christmas when the city is beautifully decorated.
