Add the city’s friendly Glaswegian character, and you can expect an added warmth alongside its wealth of unique attractions.

Per person,

Discover Scotland’s cultural powerhouse

Fly to Glasgow with British Airways and begin by exploring the historic neighbourhoods around Castle Street, where imposing Gothic buildings and Victorian architecture transport you back in time.

While there, visit the iconic Glasgow Cathedral – most of the current building dates back to the 15th century. Take a stroll along the River Kelvin until you reach Great Western Road, where you’ll find a collection of streets filled with restaurants, independent cafes and vintage shops. Head a little further west and you’ll discover Glasgow’s Botanic Gardens, which brings together the city and the natural world in one spot. Plus, you can discover the area’s rich cultural heritage at one of the city’s museums, including the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum and the Riverside Museum. Book your holiday to Glasgow today.

Glasgow flight FAQs

A flight from London Heathrow, London Gatwick or London City airports to Glasgow Airport takes around one hour and 35 minutes.

To avoid higher prices and crowds, book a trip for late spring or early autumn, when cheaper flights and quieter attractions are more likely. Use our low fare finder to find the cheapest time to fly to Glasgow.

You can take the shuttle or local bus from the airport into Glasgow, or a taxi straight to your hotel. They’re available outside the airport terminal, and it takes about 15 minutes to reach the city centre.

You can also hire a car with British Airways if you want to see more of what Glasgow has to offer. You’ll receive great benefits, with all mandatory charges included and 24-hour customer support, plus you’ll collect Avios points every rental.  

Compared with Scotland’s capital Edinburgh, Glasgow is a slightly cheaper destination, but you can always adjust your budget to fit the type of trip you’re looking for. Fill your itinerary with free museums, like Glasgow’s Gallery of Modern Art and donation-based attractions such as the Botanic Gardens. Most of all, Glasgow is very easy to explore on foot, so you won’t need to spend money on taxis to see the sights.

From the excellent museums to the passion of its two famous football teams and the beat of the busy bar scene, Glasgow is a thriving city with lots to offer. Once you’ve ticked off the history and interesting architecture on offer, think about exploring neighbourhoods away from the centre like Merchant City and Finneston – they’re both packed with cafes and independent shops. Of course, Glasgow and haggis are synonymous, so a trip here wouldn’t be complete without ordering a portion with a side of neeps and tatties.
