Great way to see a vanishing population and how they once prayedVisited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
Unfortunately I didn't have a chance to get in, but outside area is okay.Visited onWeekend
Beautiful architecture. We went for Open Doors Day so we got a talk explaining various aspects of the synagogue. We were lucky enough to hear a small choir while there. The acoustics are evident, and it must be amazing with a full choir. There are also displays in the archival rooms below, including the history of Jews immigration to Glasgow, including, of course, the sad history of immigration during WWII. All the staff there were super friendly and answered lots of questions..
Has the tour. Very interesting and worthwhile. Guide very knowledgeable and helpful. If you are interested in history this is a great venue. If you can also view the inside of the Synagogue, the architecture is breathtakingly beautiful.
Had a great tour with the cubs scouts they love learning about different cultures and the guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Defo would take them on a tour again in the future. Thanks for an interesting visit
didn’t even get inside, but the outside alone was with all the stars. a gorgeous building and a beautiful neighborhood.
Very interesting and informative. The guides shared their own experiences and were very knowledgeable.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
Beautiful place full of history. If you can get a guided tour even better. Place well worth visiting with some heartwarming artefacts from the history of Jewish people and long lasting traditions throughout the chronicles of time
I visited Garnethill Synagogue on an Open Day, and was received with great warmth and enthusiasm. We were given a tour and attended a presentation on the life of a young Scottish Jewish soldier in WWI, which was quite interesting. This is a very beautiful building and the congregation is very kind-- they certainly made visitors feel welcome and did their best to give us the history of this lovely place.
Beautiful building and very informative talk. Choir singing from the 5 men was lovelyVisited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure
