During my time spent living in the UK, it was always the case that the further north you traveled, the more beautiful the place and friendly the folk. Glasgow, Scotland is by no means an exception to this rule. Located just northeast of Edinburgh and about one hours drive from the worlds largest Loch (Lock Lomond) Glasgow is an ideal getaway for the urbanite and her best country loving friend. This month TravelZoo can get you there direct from Toronto for $141 CDN roundtrip (plus those pesky taxes of course). Thinking about it for the fall? Here’s what you do...
If it’s city chic that you’re after, check out the Malmaison Glasgow. It might interest you that the name of the hotel is an ode to Napoleons’ Josephine and her insatiable need to play! Mal Hotels are converted structures, it’s recent edition in Oxford is was once a prison, while its Glasgow offering is a converted Greek Orthodox Church with rooms that exude simple sophistication.
If that doesn’t fit the bill, and country castle is more your style, then check into the Sherbrooke Country Hotel. Located minutes from the city centre in one of Glasgow’s swankiest neighborhoods, the hotel has an impressive history that starts in with its build in 1896 as a private home.
While in Glasgow, you’ll be pleased to find that the fall weather does nothing to quell the city’s spirit. Remember, remember the fifth of November? That was the date more than 400 years ago when Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the House of Parliament. Glaswegians remember this every November in the magnificent backdrop of the city’s famous Winter Gardens with impressive displays or fireworks, bonfires, music and entertainment and of course, great food.
A city break to Glasgow this fall has a little for everyone.
