Glasgow, Scotland - The Classic Urban Holiday
If you're looking for a classic urban holiday with a wide array of cultural and historic attractions, book one of the cheap flights to Glasgow that are available from Direct Flights International.

The climate is often milder than in other parts of Scotland, and accommodation in Glasgow is abundant and easy to book online through Direct Flights International.
Glasgow is considered by travel magazines to be one of the world's top tourist cities for good reason. Glasgow was known as the "Second City of the British Empire" for much of the Victorian era, and it still boasts an impressive number of breathtaking Victorian buildings: the Glasgow City Chambers; the main building of the University of Glasgow, designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott; and the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, designed by Sir John W. Simpson are just a few of the outstanding examples that you could visit when you book one of Direct Flights International's Glasgow travel packages.
The city is also notable for its buildings that were designed by Charles
Rennie Mackintosh, an Arts and Crafts architect and advocate of the Art
Nouveau movement in the United
Kingdom. His buildings in Glasgow include the Glasgow School of Art,
the Willow Tearooms and the Scotland Street School. The Queen's Cross
Church, also designed by Mackintosh, is one of the hidden gems of Glasgow
architecture.
If you fancy a change from classic architecture, go to Glasgow's West
End. This section of the city is the "bohemian district" and is full of
colorful cafés, tea rooms, bars, boutiques, clubs and restaurants that
are worthy of a visit. The area's main thoroughfare is Byres Road and
one of its most popular destinations is Ashton Lane. And by all means
visit Glasgow's thriving city centre, which is home to most of Glasgow's
shopping centres - famous for offering the best shopping in the UK outside
London.
The city centre also features Glasgow's main cultural venues, including
the Theatre Royal, The Glasgow Royal Concert Hall and a treasure trove
of museums and art galleries.
