Around Hampden

Hampden's south-side location is a short ride from Glasgow's vibrant city centre, with its bars, restaurants and nightlife. Many fans and concert-goers combine the event with a night out in the city, and a taxi makes moving between the stadium, the centre and hotels easy — especially valuable when over 50,000 are dispersing at once and the local trains are packed.

The Home of Scottish Football

Hampden Park holds a special place in the sporting life of Scotland as the national stadium and the spiritual home of Scottish football, a venue steeped in history that has witnessed countless memorable moments across more than a century of international matches, cup finals and famous nights under the lights. Located in the Mount Florida area on the south side of Glasgow, the stadium is the regular home of the Scotland national team and the traditional stage for the finals and semi-finals of the Scottish Cup, occasions that draw passionate crowds from across the country and fill the surrounding streets with tartan and song. Beyond football, Hampden's capacity of over fifty thousand makes it one of Scotland's premier venues for major concerts, bringing world-famous touring artists to Glasgow's south side and adding to the roster of big event days when the area must accommodate very large crowds. On all these occasions, the local stations at Mount Florida and Kings Park, together with the surrounding roads, come under considerable pressure as tens of thousands arrive and depart together, which is where a pre-booked fixed-price transfer offers real advantages, delivering supporters and concert-goers to an agreed point near the stadium and collecting them afterwards, sparing them the crush of the packed local transport and providing a comfortable, direct journey to and from an event, with Glasgow's city centre and airport both a short and reasonably-priced run away.
