Texas Holidays


usa
Texas holidays will fulfil your dreams of a wild frontier populated by cowboys and ranches, but the Lone Star state also boasts diverse and vibrant cities.

From the big city charms of cultural Dallas and cosmopolitan Houston to the eclectic atmosphere of Austin, or the Hispanic heritage of San Antonio and cowboy history of Fort Worth, there’s a wide range of exciting cities to discover on a Texas holiday.

Out in Texas Hill Country you’ll find wide, open spaces that are home to cowboys tending cattle on their ranches as well as delightful Fredericksburg, a charming town of German heritage that’s renowned for its vineyards. In the north of the state is the Texas Panhandle, home to Amarillo – this quintessentially Texan town is a stop along legendary Route 66.

Trailfinders offers a range of Texas holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to explore Texas on a fly drive holiday, enjoy a city break to Austin or traverse the state on a motorhome holiday – they are the perfect people to ask.

While cities like Austin, Dallas and Houston are great to explore, some of the best Texas holiday experiences are found off the beaten track. Visit Fredericksburg for hill country charm and wineries, hike in Palo Duro Canyon near Amarillo, or live out your cowboy dreams on a Texan ranch.

Texas is a food lovers paradise! Don’t miss trying Texas barbecue (brisket is king), Tex-Mex dishes like enchiladas and fajitas, and regional specialties like chicken-fried steak. And it’s always a good idea to ask the locals where they like to eat!
