Why choose Glasgow for Treasure Hunts?

Glasgow is a city brimming with character and stories. From its industrial heritage to its transformation into a cultural powerhouse, Glasgow’s streets are alive with inspiration.

As the home of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, the city boasts distinctive Art Nouveau architecture, offering a visual treat as you explore during a treasure hunt.

Glasgow’s modern vibrancy complements its historical depth. The city’s music scene is legendary, with ties to bands like Franz Ferdinand and Belle and Sebastian, while its arts scene thrives with world-class galleries like the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Riverside Museum. These rich cultural layers can be woven into a GPS treasure hunt that’s entertaining, educational, and challenging.

Whether your treasure hunt route takes you past the medieval Glasgow Cathedral, a winding route through the cobbled streets of Merchant City, or across the green expanses of Kelvingrove Park or Glasgow Green, Glasgow is a city that invites exploration. With every twist and turn, there’s a story waiting to be discovered.

With Glasgow Central Train Station, Queen Street Station and the bus station on Buchanan Street, reaching the city centre is easy no matter where your team is travelling from. Furthermore, these convenient travel links allow you to explore the suburbs of Glasgow and the Central Belt.

Client Kudos

I could not be happier with how the event was organised in the months preceding the event and how it was managed on the days. Sarah and her team were both efficient and delightful to work with. I also had positive feedback from my co-host colleagues and a large number of delegates. I am in fact already in dealings with Maximillion again, in preparation of a new international meeting. I highly recommend Maximillion and Sarah Esslemont for leading and organising meeting.
