Take a look, below, at the best places in Texas to visit. Have an amazing time exploring and driving across the state.
The second city we visited when travelling through Texas, San Antonio is a total treat to explore. It’s such a lovely city to explore and great for a long weekend city break.
Once here, be sure to first stop off at the Alamo; one of the best places in Texas that you can’t miss. Historically, the site of the Battle of Alamo (back in 1836), it’s one of the state’s most iconic spots relating to Texas independence. Situated in the downtown area of San Antonio, it’s an incredible place to explore, especially with the chapel and long barracks, too.
Afterwards, take a stroll down the San Antonio River Walk; which we visited each night! Following the banks of the river, it’s a totally picturesque area filled with little restaurants, bars and al-fresco foodie spots to grab a bite.
Don’t fancy walking? Hop onboard on one of the boats that head up and down the river itself. It’s so relaxing and a perfect little jaunt after filling your tummy.
If it’s museums you’re after, head into the Witte Museum or the Museum of Art. Both are totally incredible and house thousands of artefacts and art that’s just too good to miss.
Oh, and for a great sunset view, head to the top of the Tower of the Americas. We loved the views from here and loved popping up after a stroll around La Villita Historic Arts Village.
