Now that the summer holidays are started the pressure is on to keep the kids entertained, but what about a slightly more cultured break for the grown-ups? If a weekend is all you've got, Glasgow could well be the ideal destination. Easily accessible by railway (or flight) your weekend break will not be hampered by awkward travel arrangements.
Once you arrive the options are endless, you can explore the streets of fashionable boutiques, pausing at pavement cafes for some light refreshment. Glasgow also benefits from a rich artistic heritage with tours of Rennie Mackintosh's inspiring School of Art and the Necropolis running daily.
If it is some lighter entertainment that you are after, than Glasgow really does have it all. The legendary pub scene has been complemented with a growing number of trendy bars and restaurants to suit all tastes. So all in all, a weekend break to Glasgow does a lot to recharge the batteries, without travelling too far.
