34 European Airports That Turn Layovers Into a Mini-Vacation

23. Glasgow Airport: Scotland’s Grit and Charm

While Edinburgh usually gets all the attention, a layover at Glasgow Airport is the perfect way to experience Scotland’s edgier, artsier side. With at least five hours, hop on the Airport Express bus to George Square, the heart of Glasgow. Wander through Glasgow Cathedral, visit the quirky Kelvingrove Art Gallery, or stroll along Buchanan Street for shopping and people-watching. And of course, no stop in Scotland is complete without a taste of haggis, neeps, and tatties (don’t worry—it’s tastier than it sounds!). Short on time? The airport boasts one of the best whisky selections in Scotland, so you can enjoy a dram before your next flight.
