Glasgow is a densely populated industrial hub, home to over 635,000 people packed into 23 wards. While the city boasts a vibrant cultural scene and thriving economy, the weather is notoriously dreary, with an average of 170 rainy days per year. Bureaucracy can also be a persistent headache, as the city is governed by both the Scottish and UK governments. However, Glasgow's architectural heritage, world-class universities, and reputation as a sporting mecca make it an appealing destination, provided you don't mind the occasional downpour.
