Texas is a very interesting state to say the least. After visiting, I learned so many new fun facts about Texas! So, I’m sure there’s still a lot that you didn’t know about the lone star state either.

These are the top unique things to do in Austin, from downtown must-sees to around the city, and I’ve even included the top things to do in Austin at night!
Despite it’s small size, there are tons of fun things to do in Fort Worth Texas. Whether you’re staying downtown, or have some time to explore some of the surrounding area (like visiting the unique Fort Worth Stockyards!).
Dallas Texas is a top city to see on any trip to Texas. It’s filled with a bustling downtown, historical centre, local shopping, and mouth watering eats! But if you only have a limited time in the city, like just one day, these are the best things to do in Dallas Texas.
Waco is the halfway point between both cities so it’s the perfect place to split up the drive. Plus, there’s quite a bit to do while you’re there.
San Antonio is about an hour and a half drive from Austin. There are a few stops along the way to break up the drive. And even more history and Mexican culture to discover once you’ve made it to San Antonio.
