Plan around the Subway
The Subway doesn't open until 10:00 on a Sunday, so for a museum opening at 11am you have time to spare. It closes at 18:12, so for an evening out, plan a bus, train or taxi home. Later Sunday hours have been approved for 2027, but they aren't in place yet. Full details are in Getting around Glasgow by Subway.
⚑ Flagged: we haven't included Sunday hours for GoMA or St Mungo's, because we could only find one current source for each. Glasgow Life's own pages list GoMA and St Mungo's as Sunday 11am–5pm.
