Equally diverse as its attractions, Texas assures comfortable accommodation for all kinds of travellers. Whether you're on a family trip, a romantic escape, or a fun holiday with mates, you're sure to find a Texan city fitting your need.

For a family holiday

Consider Houston for its extensive range of family-friendly attractions like the Space Center, Children’s Museum, and Houston Zoo. If you prefer the great outdoors, Big Bend National Park offers camping facilities and a plethora of activities like hiking and stargazing.

For a couples holiday

Whisk your significant other to the romantic cityscape of San Antonio, where an evening walk by the River Walk, or a horse-drawn carriage tour through downtown creates perfect moments of love. For beach lovers, Galveston's seaside charm and sunset cruises set a perfect romantic backdrop.

For a holiday with friends

For a gang of friends, Austin with its electrifying music scene, hip food trucks, and dynamic nightlife is a great choice. If your crew enjoys a beachside barbecue, pack your picnic baskets for a trip to South Padre Island's pristine beaches.

When to Visit

Blessed with a varied climate, Texas is a year-round destination. For coastal visits and beach holidays, summer months (June-August) offer warm, sunny days, however, expect tourist crowds and higher prices. Spring (March-May) and Fall (September-November) present pleasant weather, lesser tourists and lower accommodation rates, making them an excellent time for city touring and countryside exploration. If you plan on skiing in the Texas mountains, winter (December-February), is your season. No matter when you visit, the Texas charm is sure to captivate you.
