It is a much-debated topic among residents of the two cities - which is better? Both cities have their positives and their negatives and are both great cities. It depends on what you're looking for.
Edinburgh is the capital city and is filled with historical buildings, tourist attractions and the head officers of many businesses. Edinburgh tends to be very busy with tourists, locals and business people and can get quite expensive.
Glasgow is the largest city and while also filled with historical buildings, they tend to be a little more hidden. It has several tourist attractions - but not quite on the scale of Edinburgh Castle. Glasgow is also pretty busy and attracts shoppers more than suited businessmen and tourists.
Both cities have active nightlife and are filled with culture. Edinburgh hosts the Fringe Festival every year in August and presents theatre and comedy shows that people from all over come to see. Glasgow has numerous galleries and museums.

∙ 12y agoI would have to say Edinburgh. I live nearer to Glasgow, but Edinburgh is quieter and there are less groups of neds hanging about the streets.
Oh I don't know, there can be just as many neds down leith walk. Having lived in both cities, I would say that one has a very pretty (though expensive to get into) castle, and the other has fantastic shopping, excellent art galleries, booming nightlife, great music venues, friendly people, and is well better. I'll plump for Glasgow ;)
i don't live in either of the cities but have visited both! Edinburgh is most definatly the best for the following reasons: Edinburgh is cheaper, Edinburgh is NOT ful of neds!, Edinburgh has better landmarks, Edinburgh has a friendly atmosphere, Edinburgh is safer!
