Where to stay and eat

The five-star Kimpton Blythswood Square Hotel offers opulence and luxury. You can relax in the spa suite or dive into one of the relaxation pools. The voco Grand Central Glasgow is a luxury hotel that has hosted celebrities such as John F. Kennedy, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones over the years. It is also where Scottish inventor John Logie Baird transmitted the world's first long-distance television pictures in 1927. Just outside Glasgow, you can stay at the Crossbasket Castle Hotel.

For a taste of Scottish cuisine, one of the best restaurants is The Buttery. Crossing the threshold one has the impression of being on the set of a 1930s Scottish film, with wood panelling, vintage table decorations and intriguing artwork. Founded in 1870, The Buttery is one of Scotland's best-loved and most renowned restaurants and is considered Glasgow's oldest culinary venue. Margo, on the other hand, focuses on seasonality. Small and large plates highlight produce from the best local growers and producers. The Scottish city can be reached with Wizzair flights from Milan Malpensa and Rome Fiumicino operating from 27 October.
