Park Nearby and Take Public Transport
If you'd rather avoid driving directly to the SEC campus, parking a little further out and completing the last stretch by public transport is a smart move on a busy event night.
The nearest train station to OVO Hydro is Exhibition Centre, just a three-minute walk away via a covered walkway that leads directly to the venue entrance. Low-level trains from Glasgow Central reach Exhibition Centre in around five minutes, making this one of the quickest and easiest options for getting to the show.
The Subway is another option. Kinning Park Station is around a nine-minute walk from the SEC campus. From there, connecting services take you into the city centre and onward across Glasgow's network.
Local buses also serve Finnieston and the surrounding area, with additional services typically running on event nights.
Take the Train into Glasgow
Travelling from further afield? Glasgow Central and Queen Street stations both connect the city to Edinburgh, Stirling, Dundee and beyond, with regular intercity services throughout the evening. From either station, reaching OVO Hydro by low-level train or taxi is straightforward.
Parking at your local station and completing the journey by train is also a great way to sidestep city-centre traffic entirely. JustPark lists spaces near train stations across Scotland, so you can book station parking in advance and travel in with confidence.
