This vast state offers diversity in its landscapes and world-class attractions. From traditional small towns off the beaten path to dazzling modern cities, visitors will find ample history, culture and local dishes to take advantage of. The state has natural sights in abundance, too. Its national parks, Big Bend, and the Guadalupe Mountains provide ample walking and wildlife-watching opportunities, as does its picturesque Hill Country, while its barrier islands offer sun, sea and sand dunes. Whatever draws you to Texas, ranch holidays, city breaks and even beach getaways can all be enjoyed here.
In the state's capital, Austin, Texas holidays are based around nightlife, live music and enjoying its numerous parks and hiking trails. Another of its most popular cities, Dallas is home to a rich arts scene and was the location of the 1963 Kennedy assassination. Tourists are drawn to San Antonio for its deep history and charming riverside promenade, while Fort Worth boasts both modern art and rodeos. Be it art galleries, horse riding or visiting the renowned Space Center, Texas holidays have something for all.
