Glasgow will move down to Level 2 lockdown restrictions from midnight on Friday into Saturday this week.
Nicola Sturgeon confirmed that the city can move to Level 2 from 00:01 on Saturday during a Covid-19 update to Parliament this afternoon.
The First Minister said the situation in Glasgow appears to be stabilising, with case rates falling from 146 per 100,000 to 129 in recent days.
Ms Sturgeon said: "This means that people in Glasgow - as has been the case in most of the rest of Scotland since mid-May - will be able to meet in homes in groups of no more than six, from a maximum of three households.
"It also means that indoor licensed hospitality can reopen, and that people can travel again between Glasgow and the other parts of Scotland.
"A number of venues will also be permitted to reopen, and outdoor adult contact sports can resume.
"These changes are significant. As someone who lives in Glasgow, I know they will make a huge difference to quality of life."
A recent spike in infections had forced ministers to keep the entire Glasgow City Council area under Level 3 restrictions on May 27 as Moray joined the rest of mainland Scotland in Level 2 following improvement in covid prevalence.
Level 2 restrictions mean that, from Saturday, Glaswegians can among other things, travel anywhere in Scotland and meet socially in groups of up to six people from three households in your home or theirs – and can stay overnight.
Meanwhile pubs and restaurants can serve alcohol inside until 10.30pm, with up to six people from three households able to meet inside via two-hour booked slots.
Cinemas, theatres, concert halls, amusement arcades, casinos, bingo halls, bowling alleys and snooker/pool halls will also be allowed to reopen for business with restrictions, as can outdoor performing arts activities.
