<p> <a href="https://www.glasgowairport.com">Glasgow International Airport (GLA)</a> is the major Glasgow airport that connects with other major cities in Europe, and it also some flights to the US. There is another airport, <a href="https://www.glasgowprestwick.com">Glasgow Prestwick</a>, but it should be considered as a secondary alternative. You could also reach Glasgow by flying to <a href="https://www.edinburghairport.com">Edinburgh (EDI)</a>, which has slightly more connections than Glasgow Int.</p>

<h2 class="text-center">Train Stations</h2>
<p>
There are two main train stations: Glasgow Central and Glasgow Queen Street. Central is the main station that connects Glasgow with down south, e.g., London, using the train from Euston (roughly a 4.5 hour ride for about &#163;45). Both stations are very close to the city centre. Queen Street station faces George Square, while Central station is a 5-10 minute walk. Queen Street is the gateway to Scotland and connects Glasgow to Edinburgh (about a 40 minute ride), for example, and Glasgow to the north.
