Glasgow is worth a visit all year round, but there is something special about Scotland's biggest city during the winter that makes it perfect for a Christmas holiday.
During November and December, Glasgow Winterfest will transform George Square and St Enoch Square into winter wonderlands full of festive attractions for the whole family to enjoy. From Christmas markets selling cute gifts and tasty treats to silent discos and fairground rides, there is something for everyone.
Glasgow Winterfest has already kicked off at St Enoch Square, while George Square will follow on November 25, making now the perfect time to plan a trip to the city. Best of all, accomodation in Glasgow this Christmas can be booked for a bargain price if you know where to look.
Through voucher website Wowcher, an overnight stay for two at the Leonardo Hotel Glasgow is currently available for as little as £99 — 45 per cent off the standard price of £181.
Situated on Jamaica Street, the hotel is in a perfect central location that makes exploring the city easy. It is also just a few minutes from both George Square and St Enoch Square, meaning it is ideal if you want to head to Glasgow Winterfest.
The Leonardo Hotel Glasgow itself offers double rooms with Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, en-suites, and tea and coffee making facilities. Meanwhile, it also has a bar where you can enjoy a nightcap before bed, while the deal also includes a full Scottish breakfast.
Looking at travel website Tripadvisor, the Leonardo Hotel Glasgow is popular amongst guests, with an average rating of four out of five based on 5,917 reviews.
One recent review reads: "The staff was exceptionally friendly, and they offered free self-parking. While the breakfast options for vegetarians were somewhat limited, the rooms were impeccably clean and met our expectations.
