If you’ve been wintering in the same crowded spots year after year, this is your chance to do something different. Central Texas has all the warmth, friendliness and beauty you expect from Texas — without the traffic, high prices or shoulder-to-shoulder crowds of the usual destinations.

A Laid-Back Way of Life

Around Austin and Florence TX, the pace is relaxed and welcoming. You can head into the city for all the live music, dining and nightlife you could want — then come home to open skies, quiet evenings and neighbors who feel like friends.

Explore Historic Towns

Day trips here are part of the fun. Anywhere between 20 minutes to a couple of hours, you can find yourself in:

Georgetown – a classic Texas town square filled with dining and boutiques
Salado – artsy and walkable with unique shopping
San Saba – riverside charm and the title of pecan capital of the world
Fredericksburg – enjoy all the famous wineries and German heritage with a day trip

Natural Wonders Everywhere

Winter in Central Texas means mild weather that makes it easy to get outdoors:

Colorado Bend State Park – waterfalls, caves and trails to explore
Inks Lake – perfect for kayaking, fishing or just soaking in the view
Garey Park and Berry Springs Park – peaceful, scenic spots close to home
Longhorn Cavern & Inner Space Caverns – incredible underground tours

Music and Dancing, Texas Style

The Austin area lives up to its reputation:

Broken Spoke (Austin) – legendary honky-tonk and dance hall
The Continental Club (Austin) – a roots and blues institution
Gruene Hall (New Braunfels) – Texas’ oldest dance hall with big-name shows

And for something close to home, catch a performance at the beautifully restored Globe Theatre in Bertram or hop aboard the vintage train ride through Bertram, TX.
