The new film, starring Tom Holland as Peter Parker, has generated a serious buzz in the city since filming took over at the start of the month.
Having spent the past week dazzling fans on Bothwell Street, the web-slinging hero has now been spotted on St Vincent Street.
Hundreds of fans gathered all around the busy street, with crowds forming on Buchanan Street and at every vantage point to catch a glimpse of Spidey.

Today, August 10, the next stunt was set up, and a few familiar vehicles could be seen flying up the street at high speed.
The 'tank', which has been heavily featured so far during filming, has been shifted over to the new set, and onlookers gasped as it sped up St Vincent Street with a cloud of reek behind it.
From other viewpoints, you can see that it is travelling towards a double-decker sightseeing bus at full revs.
The actors on top of the bus could be heard screaming as damaged cars lay strewn across the street, and other motorists sped to get out of the way.

Spider-Man appears to be on the case, though, as once again the masked hero was seen on top of the tank, where he'll hopefully triumph over whatever evil he is facing.
We reported that stunts were filmed on Bothwell Street earlier this week, including a high-speed car chase featuring a tank, a car being flipped over, and some huge explosions that rocked Bothwell Street.
One onlooker said that they could "feel the heat" from the explosion and "got a fright" when the flames flew into the air.
We also revealed that a restaurant featured in some of the new Spider-Man scenes has been brought to the market.
The former Wolf Italian Street Food unit on Bothwell Street is being put on the market, having been featured in filming both outside and inside the premises.
Filming is expected to remain on St Vincent Street for the next four days, fans can try and catch Spidey from the top or bottom of the street for the best vantage points.
