On Foot

Walking to Riverside Museum is easier than you think!

Riverside Museum is on the North bank of the River Clyde, just along the Clydeside from the SECC going towards Partick (West). 

By Bus

Service 100, Riverside- SECC- City CentreRiversider 100 Service is the route to some of Glasgow's most exciting attractions! Operating every 30 minutes, hop on board the Riversider anywhere between George Square, SECC, The Tall Ship and Riverside Museum.

Easily identified by its striking design featuring all of these great Glasgow attractions, the Riversider takes 25 minutes to travel to the Riverside Museum from the City Centre.

By Car

Riverside Museum has a fantastic location in the west end of the city. From the M8 motorway, take Junction 19 and travel west bound along the Clydeside Expressway (A814) for about one mile to Pointhouse road. Then turn left into the Riverside Car Park area.

There is a Pay & Display car park at Riverside - £1 for a 4 hour maximum stay.

The car park has 12 spaces reserved for blue badge holders and these spaces are free of charge with no time restrictions.  The car park also has designated parent and child spaces.  

The disabled drop off point for the Riverside Museum is via the slipway road (to the right as you drive onto the Riverside site).  The Tall Ship disabled drop off point is the access road left of the museum.   

There is also a Pay & Display car park at Kelvin Hall, Bunhouse Road  (the previous home of the Museum of Transport) that's only a 15 minute signposted walk to Riverside.

Visitors may also use the SECC car park - charges apply - then it's just a short walk to the museum.
