Monumental and peaceful place in Glasgow next to medieval cathedral. Place full of history and nostalgia at the same time. When you climb on the hill you will get an amazing view on Glasgow city and different view on majestic cathedral. It is worth to visit this area when in Glasgow. Recommend also for walks.

I had never been here before, despite driving past a few times. It is very hilly, so be ready for a steep walk to the too. The views of the city are lovely. Glasgow cathedral is across the bridge within walking distance. Some of the tombs and memorials are incredible. The monument to John Knox is probably the most prominent, and contains a lot of information about the man and his history. Obviously graveyards are not for everyone, but for something different in the city this is worth a look.

Such a beautiful and historic place to be. I feel lucky to have got a chance to see this place. The history behind it is EPIC. Must visit. So nice to see that these places are still preserved and beautifully maintained by the government and the people. If you are in Glasgow never miss this place along with the cathedral. By the way you also get to see a mesmerising view of the cathedral from the top of it

Stunning and very remarkable. This place is an absolute must to visit in Glasgow. It's located on the top of a steep hill just by side/behind of the Cathedral. There are many interesting graves from different times, including tombstones and crypts. The view from the too is spectacular so even if not interested in the cemetery itself, the breathtaking views can definitely compensate the visitors for it. It's pretty much a 360° view, so the whole city and its peripheral areas are nicely visible. It's very unique, therefore I can only recommend visiting it.

Ok place to visit but missing the calmness of a regular cemetery. Also hoed for some really old mausoleum or grave stones but nothing below 1800ish dates, a bit crowded for a cemetery. Right next to the cathedral which is way more interesting and has older shrines and stuff:)

Amazing place. Good walk, with stunning views over Glasgow and beyond. Very popular with tourists and locals alike. Impressive architecture and design. On street parking available. Free parking on a Sunday. Will visit again as even a few hours is not enough to see everything. A million pictures wouldn't do it justice.

A lovely place for a walk and views in the heart of the city. I would recommend to someone with mobility issues as the walk to the top is steep however there's plenty to see at all levels. Great location for also experiencing the St Mungo Museum and the Cathedral, with plenty of eateries and pubs close by also.

Tremendous experience - especially in spring. Blossoms everywhere! If you walk up on the top, there is a very nice view on the city. If you want to calm down, to read a book or bring your Date here it’s the perfect spot!

A reflective and melancholic site. There are few places in Glasgow that evoke the same quiet aged serenity as the monuments and spires in Edinburgh. This is a very notable exception. Come here early in the morning before the crowds arrive. Feel the immense mystic silence as you cross the weighty bridge that seems to separate the living from the deceased. Seeing spiralling rows of graves ranging from the humble to the ostentatious, one feels the immense scale of time and the ultimate unity of our destinies. Groves of ivy cover older tombstones, yet the presences of the dead are still palpable here.

Quite an interesting and eerie place to visit, especially during sunset. I like the unique looking tombstones, and there's some great views to be had of the surrounding area.

Out of the three cemeteries in Edinburgh that I saw this by far beat any of those. It is a beautiful walk up with incredible gravestones to look at with exciting beautiful views of the city. This is a must when you visit Glasgow.

We were blessed with a sunny afternoon as we explored the Necropolis. Parking close by, just follow the signs for cathedral parking. Free to wander around. Fantastic views of Glasgow and Glasgow Cathedral which is also free to visit and well worth it.

One of the loveliest necropolis' I've come across. Worth a trip just for the walk but also the amazing large and carved monuments. We spent about 30 minutes walking around and still didn't see all of it. Would love to come back again one day.

Absolutely fascinating place to visit. Some amazing monuments. You could spend a few good hours going round this.

Definitely worth a visit if you're looking to explore the city. Situated just next to the cathedral, giving another reason not to miss the area. The hike is not really that steep so don't worry if you are not that fit.

Atmosphere is really good. A good brisk walk and the top view is pretty nice. You can see most of Glasgow from the top. Next time I go there I will bring my camera so that I can capture some amazing pictures of the city.

Always an enjoyable walk full of interesting sights and beautiful views. Feels like a real treat to have this in Glasgow and just hope it remains in decent condition for years to come.

FASCINATING PLACE! Ok, so there's a certain irony of having a necropolis or 'city of the dead' located in one of Europe's most vibrant and alive cities! The necropolis holds many of the ' Great and the Good' of Glasgow, but rather intriguingly, folklore suggests that many more people are at rest here than are documented! Work that out for yourself! The layout of the necropolis, including entry over The Bridge of Sighs, is interesting and the view over Glasgow's surviving medieval buildings superb. Well worth a visit.

Great place to go for an evening walk. If you want to spice things up, visit the Necropolis at midnight for some scary vibes. The view of Glasgow from the top is beautiful. There are no facilities in the park - no food or restrooms. On days of snow, the path is extremely slippery.

When I asked a young woman what I should see in Glasgow, she instantly replied The Necropolis. And wow she was right. The history, the view, the quiet power of the place is amazing. Take a stroll around the headstones and you will be totally transported to another time. Look across the little valley to the Cathedral and University, or down to the whole city of Glasgow, all so amazingly beautiful.

This is the first time I am seeing this kind of a cemetery with fancy tombstones. You will get a good view of Glasgow city from the top. It’s a must visit.

A wonderful walk and high view of Glasgow. Add this to your list of places to visit. The pathway up is a nice gradual climb, don’t be intimidated. Once at the top if you can time a semi clear or clear sunset the views are amazing you can see for miles. It’s of course a peaceful walk around the cemetery, viewing the beautiful headstones are also worth viewing along with the city views.

Perfect for a walk around.

Beautiful cemetery. Being from Florida, I've never seen anything like it.

(Translated by Google) Old Necropolis Inspired by the famous Père Lachaise in Paris, the Glasgow Necropolis is a remarkable Victorian cemetery with no less than 3,500 monuments.

Great views over glasgow

(Translated by Google) Special place, definitely worth a visit. (Original) Bijzondere plaats, beslist de moeite waard om even te bezoeken.

(Translated by Google) A cemetery, however very old your visit, one climbs up to reach the summit with a part of the sight on Glasgow, of very old tomb and family vaults haunts the places by the presence of their occupant, well entered and atypical by this form. (Original) Un cimetière, cependant très ancien vos la visite, on monte en hauteur jusqu'à atteindre le sommet avec une partie de la vue sur Glasgow, de très ancienne tombe et caveaux familiaux hante les lieux par la présence de leur occupant, bien entrenu et atypiques par ca forme.

Not a fan of graveyards, but this one hides some interesting stories . Needs a bit a maintenance tho ?

truly breathtaking. a fascinating place in itself and an amazing view of glasgow.

One of the best walks in Glasgow! Great views and great scenery! Just don’t step on the graves or crypts! 😅 lots of people come visit here and honestly the view u just cant fathom unless you’re there for yourself.

Amazing..you can see why they want to.film the new Batman film there..what an amazing history the place has and an amazing view over parts of the city. Well.worth the visist

An atmospheric place with lots of history and views of the cathedral. Inspired by Pere Lachaise cemetry in Paris, the Necropolis sits up on a hill looking over the city and onto the cathedral. It offers a great place to wander round and look for famous grave stone and tombs. It is free to enter and it was open long after the closing time stated here.

Glasgow necropolis is gorgeous place and worth spending your time there. Provides a. Good view point for the city below and peaceful walk will refresh you for sure

The Glasgow Necropolis is a Victorian cemetery which dates back to the year 1832. The cemetery, as most early Victorian cemeteries, is laid out as an informal park further enhanced by the complex topography. The cemetery's paths meander uphill towards the summit, where the larger monuments stand, clustered around the John Knox Monument. A visit needed only if you have time at hand, the view of cathedral is picturesque.

One can enjoy the walk through the Glasgow Necropolis. Some might think it to be eerie but it's very beautiful and on a nice day like the one I had you can see the city from the top of the wee hill. Wasn't very busy when I went in January and there was no charge to enter. The Necropolis sits right behind the beautiful Glasgow Cathedral.

A short walk from and behind the Glasgow Cathedral. Great views on the cathedral and parts of Glasgow and surroundings. Mostly late 1800’s graves of Glasgow’s wealthy merchants and their families. Some paths more inclined than others, but accessible and doable for all.

(Translated by Google) A pass of necropolis to enjoy a good walk and the best views. (Original) Una pasada de necropolis para disfrutar de un buen paseo y lo mejor las vistas.

(Translated by Google) A very nice place to meet. Next to the cathedral. Quiet and very good views of the city. Tip is to go at sunset, there are few people and you can enjoy better. A place with a lot of beautiful history to get lost and enjoy. (Original) Una lugar muy lindo para conocer. Al lado de la Catedral. Tranquilo y que muy buenas vistas de la ciudad. Consejo es ir al atardecer, hay poca gente y se puede disfrutar mejor. Un lugar de mucha historia lindo para perderse y disfrutar.

Beautiful peaceful place on a hill above the city. Lovely views from there. It look more than park and walking around old tombs and graves is quite interesting. Near by is a Glasgow cathedral and monument of David Livingstone, the greatest Scottish traveler and explorer. Go and see it all.

A huge piece of great Scottish history. Strongly suggested to visit!

Pareidolia?

Great place to go for a walk. View from the top is awesome giving a full view of Glasgow City. There are couple of war memorial and place is well maintained.

This cemetery represents such a great Victorian culture

If you visit Glagow Cathedral, then you have to enter the Necropolis as well. Not only for the historic relevance, but also for the beautiful view you will have on Glasgow, when you at the highest point.

(Translated by Google) It is an old cemetery that you can access and enjoy a quiet walk and beautiful views of the cathedral, the city of Glasgow and you can even see the Celtic Park football stadium in the distance. (Original) Es un antiguo cementerio al que puedes acceder y disfrutar de un tranquilo paseo y de unas preciosas vistas de la catedral,la ciudad de Glasgow e incluso se ve a lo lejos el estadio de fútbol Celtic Park.

A Victorian cemetery having good views of Glesga. Various burial spaces including Jewish, World war memorial graves, prominent people of the ceety , Lord Provost can be seen.Some recent memorials were also seen. Eerie but Good experience.

I have to admit that the Necropolis is a little bit creepy, but it offers spectacular view of the Glasgow city.

Seeing batman has got to be a top moment of this year so far. Can't wait to see these scenes in the movie!!

Very impressive! I recommend to climb to the top of the hill: the view is just mind-blowing and it's totally worth it. It's kinda windy up here so be sure to wear an appropriate jacket.

Spent a very pleasant afternoon with my wife Toby. Sorry, that should be, to be. Great views, magnificent mausoleums, the smell of beer wafting up the hill, beautiful warm sunny day (I can't guarantee that, mind). Loads of Isabella's, which is my wife's name.

Fantastic setting in the old city centre with great views of Cathedral & City. Well worth a visit. Now being used for filming The Batman 2020

Handily next to the cathedral. Minimum 1 hour needed here but could easily spend several hours.

Set atop a large mound near Glasgow’s stunning gothic cathedral, Glasgow Necropolis is a peaceful and picturesque Victorian cemetery, which offers a rare opportunity for quiet reflection in an otherwise busy city. The number of gravestones does not reflect the amount of people who reside in the cemetery, but there are a number of notable memorials that are worth visiting. There are a number of paths that wind around the necropolis, some of which are steeper than others, but the peak of the necropolis is accessible to all and offers stunning views of Glasgow, especially the nearby cathedral.

Fascinating cemetery in the heart of old Glasgow

(Translated by Google) More than a cemetery, it is a museum, open and free where you can walk among the Victorian monuments and gravestones. It seems to go back in time. From the top you can admire a beautiful panorama of the cathedral. Not suitable for those with walking difficulties. (Original) Più che un cimitero è un museo, aperto e gratuito nel quale puoi passeggiate tra i monumenti e le lapidi in stile vittoriano. Sembra di tornare indietro nel tempo. Dalla vetta si ammira un bel panorama della cattedrale. Non adatto a chi ha difficoltà motorie.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful historic Victorian cemetery, when Glasgow was the second city of the British Empire (so much so that that trust in those times is reflected in the splendor of certain tombs), I also suggest visiting the upper part, which houses the tombs of the members most important of the city and will allow you to observe the panorama of Glasgow from its highest point (Original) Un bel cimitero storico d'epoca vittoriana, quando Glasgow era la seconda città dell'impero britannico (tanto che quella fiducia in quei tempi si rispecchia nei fasti di certe tombe), suggerisco inoltre di visitare la parte superiore, che ospita i sepolcri dei membri più importanti della città e vi permetterà di osservare il panorama di Glasgow dal suo punto più alto

Super

(Translated by Google) A very interesting site, the best thing to see in Glasgow, you can feel the history walking through the Necropolis, no doubt a must stop in Glasgow. (Original) Un sitio muy interesante, de lo mejor que ver en Glasgow, se puede sentir la historia caminando por la Necrópolis, sin duda parada obligada en Glasgow.

The Necropolis was amazing - so many huge and decorative monuments! We didn't know who most of the people were, but it was still really amazing to imagine the wealth and influence of the rich merchant families who built them. Fun to walk up and around all the hilly regions, and great for photos too (especially with the Glasgow Cathedral in the background). We had a short time here on a cruise ship for the day (docked in Greenock) - we did it on our own and fit in the Necropolis, Glasgow Cathedral, St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art, Provand's Lordship, the HOHO bus, lunch at George Square and Rick Steves "Glasgow Walk" from his book.

The company is to die for.

I am not one for visiting graveyards but this one is a little different it is well maintained with good quality paths so no need to go walking over the. Graves themselves. But you do get some of the best views of Glasgow from the top of the hill.

It's a cemetary with a bit of history. clean and we'll organized. It's a place you can longer in. read the Graves Stones, and see no matter how great or small they are all dead now. What separates this story form those others is its connection to the history of Glasgow. Go take a little time and enjoy the view of the city.

(Translated by Google) Nice view (Original) Schöner Ausblick

We’re all gonna die someday. I’d like to be buried at sea but just close enough to the beach but I can see why someone would wanna be buried here. As far as funeral digs go this place is as good as they get. Not sure people get buried here anymore though...

Nice view

part of batman was filmed here so its cool

(Translated by Google) Impressive cemetery in the middle of the city with countless sacred works of art (Original) Impactante cementerio en medio de la ciudad con innumerables obras de arte sacro

By far one of the highlights of Glasgow. It was jus so stunning. Gorgeous views, very peaceful. Don't miss out.

Surreal place in the heart of Glasgow.
