Texas
Trip Planning & Itineraries
In one very large state you can explore soaring pine forests, rapid-running rivers, 600 miles (965km) of beaches, devil-dry deserts and green rolling hills. From Austin's swinging blues bars to Amarillo's old Route 66, Texas is full of surprising images.
If all you pictured were dusty trails and tumbleweeds, cowboys and oil derricks, you're in for a pleasant surprise.

Suggested Itineraries: Texas
You don't even have to go to a nightclub in Austin to hear live music; bands regularly play at supermarkets, record shops - even at the airport. Though this is the state capital, an artsy rather than a formal vibe prevails.
If San Antonio had a flavor, it would be Tex-Mex. This was one of the first areas colonized by the Spanish, the seat of government for the Mexican state of Tejas, and today more than 58% of the 1.2 million residents claim Hispanic heritage.
Best of Texas: Top 3 Hotels

More stylish than big-name chains, this renovated 1925 downtown hotel (read: small rooms) has modern earth-tone designs and is easy walking distance from the 6th Floor Museum.
The Driskill opened its doors in 1886, two years before the current capital building was completed. Here Texas history and memorabilia co-exist with lavish style. Gold-leafed columns and stained-glass domes share a roof with western art and cow-hide sofas. Founder, cattle baron Colonel Driskill would be proud.
Get an 11th- or 12th-floor room and, if your timing's right, you can peer into the stadium and watch the Astros play. Robert Redford in The Natural would feel right at home with the updated 1940s clubbiness.
