Built-in the 12th century, Glasgow Cathedral is the city's most historic building. The cathedral is free to visit. However, donations are always welcome. Admire both the beautiful interior and exterior, and see the grandest room in the cathedral, the crypt which houses the tomb of St. Mungo, which dates back to 603 AD — a great free attraction and one to add to your things to do in Glasgow list.

The Glasgow School of Art is housed in an Art Nouveau building completed in 1909. If you're interested in architecture or appreciate beautiful buildings, this must add to your Glasgow things-to-do list. Three 65-foot-high oriel windows dominate the building's west façade, and the east front has smaller windows that give a Scottish Castle feel to it. The interior is fantastic, with a unique library and gallery. As you are guided around the school of art, these guides will be actual students who will show you various works by Mackintosh and galleries of his furniture – overall, a very interesting museum and architectural gem.
