Things to note when traveling in Scotland

Scotland, with its wild beauty, majestic natural landscapes and rich cultural history, is an attractive destination for those who love to explore. However, to have a smooth and enjoyable trip, you need to plan carefully and prepare the following important things.

Apply for visa

Vietnamese citizens need to apply for a Schengen visa to enter Scotland, a country in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. To successfully apply for a visa, you need to prepare all necessary documents such as passport, visa application form, passport photos, financial certificates and detailed itinerary of the trip. Early and careful preparation will help you avoid unnecessary troubles.

The ideal time to travel to Scotland

Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are the best times to visit with pleasant weather, little rain and stunning scenery. Summer (June to August) is also peak tourist season with warmer weather, but can be crowded. If you love snow and want to experience the cold, winter also has a lot to offer with winter festivals and activities.

Don't forget to try sweets such as shortbread and fudge, which will satisfy those with a sweet tooth.

Exciting culinary experience

Scottish cuisine offers a wide range of exciting experiences with unique traditional dishes. Haggis - sheep's blood sausage cooked with oats and spices is one of the dishes you cannot miss. In addition, try cullen skink - salmon soup cooked with potatoes and onions, or Arbroath smokie - traditional smoked haddock. Desserts such as cranachan (raspberry ice cream) and shortbread (butter biscuits) are also worth enjoying.

Book flights in advance

To save money and ensure a good seat, you should book your flight at least 3-6 months in advance. Airlines often offer great deals if you book early. You should also check flight routes and choose the airport closest to your destination, such as Edinburgh or Glasgow, for ease of travel. Don’t forget to check your baggage and flight conditions to avoid any unwanted inconveniences.
