United Kingdom
To get away from the city for a day, try an early start out of town for the 2hr drive to Fort William in order to catch the 10.20 steam-pulled Jacobite (also known as the Hogwarts Express) from Fort William to Mallaig through the atmospheric Scottish landscape passing lochs & mountains a plenty and over the awe-inspiring Glenfinnan viaduct.
There is time for an hour long hike & an ice cream at Mallaig before catching the return back to Fort William, then drive back to Glasgow either via Oban for fish & chips or via Loch Lomond for lakeside dining.
