Travel
We would recommend taking taxis to the Engine Works, which is about a 10 minute drive from the West End and 15 minutes from the city centre, and pre-booking a taxi home.

For those coming from out of town, we would recommend staying in the West End of Glasgow (around Great Western Road and Byres Road). It's where our families live and it's a fun part of the city. There are lots of great Air BnBs in the area. Here are a few hotel ideas - the Grosvenor, Hotel Du Vin and the Bellhaven are all located close to the Botanic Gardens and the Engine Works.
