Offering such a unique atmosphere, vibrant nightlife and historical attractions, it is hardly surprising that Glasgow has become such a popular destination for weekend breaks. Flights to Glasgow are provided by a wide range of airlines and the city is easily accessible from numerous destinations across the world.

Named a UNESCO City of Music, Glasgow is easily a must for culture fans and has the highest rate of musical performances out of any UK city – averaging 130 per week. As the city will be the host for the commonwealth games in 2014, there is expected to be plenty of excitement leading up to the event.

Of course, history enthusiasts will also find plenty to see and do – fascinating landmarks such as the Glasgow Cathedral, City Chambers and Glasgow University are sure to impress – but this lively city is developing a reputation as one of the best shopping locations in the UK and is considered to be second only to London. The recently revamped city centre is packed full of the biggest high street stores as well as a wealth of charming smaller traders.

Glasgow is served by both the Prestwick and Glasgow International airports. As it is so well served by budget airlines, cheap flights to Glasgow are very easy to come by and there is always a chance of getting a good deal. For those considering a tour of Europe or the UK, both airports offer flights to London and a range of destinations on the continent – Spain, Germany and the Netherlands to name just a few.
