The Glasgow Subway Ale Trail is a great way to explore the city while visiting a mixture of traditional pubs, modern bars and independent beer spots. Simply buy a Subway day ticket, choose where you want to begin and jump on and off at different stops around the circular route. With regular Subway services and many pubs only a short walk from the stations, it is an easy and enjoyable day out. You can follow the full trail, pick out a few favourite stops or create your own route and take the day at your own pace.
