There are a fantastic range of city breaks from Glasgow airport to some gorgeous destinations in 2025 and 2026, from the classic short breaks in Paris, Amsterdam and Prague, to the further afield places like Toronto, Dubai and New York. So where can you go on your budget, and what sort of city are you after? A bit of culture? Great shopping? Fantastic food? Let's help you find your ideal escape.
Struggling to work out which city is best for your next getaway? From Glasgow, you can fly to loads of destinations in Europe and beyond, with most of the popular ones having direct flights.
A favourite weekend break for many of us, daily direct flights with easyJet to Paris means you can be in the heart of the French capital city in just a few hours. Alternatively, hit up the trains and travel down to London and jump on the Eurostar. It's a longer journey (and probably more expensive), but it's a great trip, and why not stopover in London for a night of two.
Whether it's your first time, or you've visited a million times, there's something quite special about Barcelona. This city combines history, art, culture and architecture with great food and drink, and lively nightlife. Throw in a lovely sandy beach and some Mediterannean sunshine and you're on to a winner.
Rome enjoys an ideal mix of incredible history, style, fashion and Italian dishes to die for. Enjoy walk around the cobbled streets of Trastevere before heading to Villa Borghese for a mandatory gelato, and then a sumptuous Italian pasta dish at one of the many restaurants that line the piazzas here.
Historic Prague in Czechia is another favourite city break destination. Often known for a stag do or two, this place is perfect for a romantic escape too, with long walks along the River Vltava, and tasty cuisine just waiting to be tried.
Direct flights with Emirates mean you can be enjoying a sunny city break in Dubai from Glasgow in less than 8 hours. Whether you prefer to stay by the pool and head out each evening for dinner, or take advantage of the endless attractions and things to do, Dubai is certainly the city to discover for the best chances of sunshine.
With no direct flights right now, city Breaks in New York from Glasgow aren't as straightforward as other destinations. Flights can be pretty cheap still, but you'll need to go indirect, transferring through places like Iceland (with Icelandair) or London Heathrow (with British Airways). Fear not though, you can easily package these flights with a hotel through tour operators like Expedia or lastminute.com.
