Glasgow<\/a>, including iconic Loch Lomond and Finnich Glen, also known as the Devil’s Pulpit.<\/p>\nThe city has around 48 points of interest, including the Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) and Glasgow Cathedral.<\/p>\n
Glasgow also has 102 EV chargers per 100,000 people and 66 filling stations.<\/p>\n
Jamie\u202fHolt, operations director at SIXT, said: “Our findings from this study have created a go-to index for those who love to wander off the beaten path. Road trips are a staple in the UK during the spring and summer months, but often the most popular destinations can be crowded, so we\u2019ve uncovered the best locations to visit to help inspire travel decisions this year.<\/p>\n
\u201cHere at SIXT, we\u2019re encouraging people to embrace the art of \u2018getting lost\u2019, enjoying the detour and not just the destination.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlthough you may be thinking that Edinburgh and Glasgow are major cities that are well-travelled and have plenty to do, the sheer volume and range of activities made these cities superior to others in the study.<\/p>\n
\u201cEdinburgh is full of detour spots, whether you choose to drive around the buzzing city centre or quieter spots such as Portobello Beach and Pentland Hills. It outshone other cities when it came to activities, boasting more than 65 museums and landmarks, 12 local food markets and five National Trust sites, as well as being incredibly car-friendly, allowing you to recharge and refuel. In Edinburgh, most of the best spots aren\u2019t on the main streets, and wandering down the winding alleys of the Old Town will uncover plenty of historic charm.<\/p>\n

\u201cGlasgow also claimed a spot for itself in the top three due to its ability to offer a diverse and exciting detour. It has a great variety of activities and excursions with almost 50 museums and heritage sites, and over 240 things to do.<\/p>\n
\u201cGlasgow can cater to families, couples and even friend trips this spring and summer. Adults can enjoy Ashton Lane, a cobbled backstreet with cool bars, restaurants and a tiny cinema, whereas families can visit Pollok Country Park, home to Highland cows, or Glasgow Science Centre with a planetarium – the kids definitely won\u2019t be bored in this city.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ONE of the funnest parts of road trips is discovering places you’ve never been before and sampling new…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":35396,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8816],"tags":[748,1102,918,4884,712,2374,18461,1014,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-35395","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-edinburgh","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-edinburgh","10":"tag-glasgow","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-scotland","13":"tag-section-motorsnews-motors","14":"tag-staycation-tips-and-ideas","15":"tag-travel-advice","16":"tag-uk","17":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114369917652968519","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35395","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35395"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35395\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/35396"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35395"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35395"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35395"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
