The World championship will be held in Glasgow Greens, the city's oldest park space. The festivities would continue into the weekend with the After Worlds Shindig in honour of all competing bands. During this period, Glasgow has several options for all, including the entire family irrespective of whether you are a piping buff or just are raring to go for a new city break destination.
Hotels are offering a city break with packages starting from rates as low as ?230 per person for a short break of three days. The city break package would include double-bed rooms, free breakfast, a ticket to the concert and championships. Many hotels have renovated their rooms, added facilities.
With more than 200 pipe bands from 16 different nations, competing for the world title in front of an estimated 40,000-strong audience, the travel industry is quite confident that its city break would be an unqualified success.
Glasgow is being promoted as the cultural capital of Scotland, with the focus on its free museums, galleries and first-rate theatres.
Glasgow city break would include a cultural tour, with entertainment, food and drink thrown in for good measure. Burrell collections are much sought after those who take the city break. Since Glasgow is home to Scottish Opera, a visit to the Royal Scottish National Orchestra is also part of the city break.
Hotels around Glasgow's two airports are not far behind. Almost all hotels in the vicinity of the airport have announced special Glasgow break and holiday packages. Since parking could be a problem during your Glasgow break, airport hotels have included parking facilities for periods ranging from 4 to 15 days in the break.
The Glasgow Airport and Glasgow Prestwick Airport are gateways for the Scottish break. Glasgow International Airport is the busiest of Scotland's three main international airports. Located 8 miles west of Glasgow city centre, the airport has 40 airlines serving around 80 destinations.
Glasgow Prestwick Airport, located 32 miles south east of Glasgow, has flights to 35 destinations across Europe and is easily accessible by both car and train. Glasgow has a new seaplane airport that came into service in 2007. The three airports together offers in-bound and out-bound break packages.
To enhance your break, many hotels offer customised tours to near by holiday spots. You can explore towns and villages such as Abington, Gourock, Motherwell and New Lanark which have their own place in Scottish history.
In order to capitalise on the Homecoming 2009 Scotland celebrations, the travel trade has weekend break packages that would take you to other Scottish cities.
