A weekend getaway is a great way to relax and there are plenty of places to visit in the UK, whether you’re looking for a city break or a weekend at the beach.
Research has looked at destinations across the UK to gather the best breaks, with a Scottish city that “has it all” topping the list.
Glasgow came up top based on factors such as outdoor leisure, sports tourism, food and drink, shopping facilities and the arts and culture available to see.
All of these factors were considered and given a rating, and each UK spot received a score out of 10 in the research by Village Hotels.
