YOUR JOURNEY, AT YOUR RHYTHM

What to discover in Texas

Combine San Antonio and Austin with a stop in Fredericksburg for heritage, music and Hill Country scenery. Divide your stays between several bases and allow time for driving.

Choose a regional route: Houston with Galveston or Dallas with Fort Worth. Set aside a separate stage for Big Bend, far from these urban centers, based on your available days, weather and park conditions.

How to choose an area and plan journeys in Texas

The eight Texas ideas are alternatives across a large state, not one continuous itinerary. Choose a base or a group of regions first and confirm travel arrangements before booking timed visits.

Choose one part of the state

Consider San Antonio, Austin and Hill Country; Houston with Galveston; or Dallas with Fort Worth as different ways to organise your trip. There is no need to combine them all: spread visits among the bases that fit your available days and connections.

Set aside a separate stage for Big Bend

Big Bend is in remote western Texas. Check NPS directions, alerts and road and trail conditions; prepare fuel, water and supplies, and check that your vehicle is suitable for your chosen route. Do not assume every access point is open.

Separate admission from travel arrangements

Review the place, ticket option and terms of each booking, including Space Center Houston. Allow time to get there and return to your accommodation; a ticket does not automatically include transport, special activities or access to every part of a venue.
