Skip single bus fares, buy a day ticket from the driver or use contactless for capped fares, saves a lot if you hop around.
Food scene surprised me, great cheap eats and hearty pubs. Rain most days, bring a waterproof but no biggie.
Skip the chain places around Buchanan Street, walk two blocks into Merchant City for better prices and proper local restaurants.
Great live music and friendly pubs, food better than expected. Grey weather but atmospheric, three days was just enough.
Glasgow felt gritty at times, streets busy and some overpriced tourist spots. Museums were good though, don't expect polite silence.
