This wonderful FREE event is Glasgow's way of celebrating its buildings, its streets, its parks and its people - basically this is Glasgow's way of celebrating Glasgow! There are walks, talks, exhibitions in hundreds of venues which open their door to the Glasgow public. I personally think this is a great way of bringing in tourists to Glasgow as well as allowing Glasgow to see places that they possibly may not normally visit.
As there are so many I think I would bore you by listing them all so I will link you all to the page of all the venues which opened their doors in 2010 - Doors Open 2010. My personal favourites from last year were the BBC Scotland - I found this very interesting as I was able to see what happened on a daily basis with the help of a tour. Also I visited the Mosque which is situated in the Gorbals. I enjoyed this as it was a chance to explore a different culture.

This event sums up culture of Glasgow. It allows access to places you would never normally think of visiting. A free shuttle bus operates during the event which runs several routes, taking people in between the venues. The fact that this even is free means anybody is able to go to this. Although the younger generation may not be so interested - I was dragged along one year and will continue to go every year to explore the new additions every year.
The venues have yet to be confirmed for next year so I will leave you with their Facebook Page! My last blog on cultural events - saving best till last will be the Winterfest in George Square - See you all next time..
