Visit three of the major cities in Texas in one sweet road trip. You'll start in Dallas and head to Houston to get a sense of the softer side of Bayou City. This trip sends you to parts of Houston that are landmarks in the city, but maybe not the first places visitors think to go. Then you'll head to old San Antonio, where the state's Mexican heritage is proudly on display.
Finally, stop into some of the must-see spots in our state capitol of Austin. From walking on the steps of the impressive capitol building to looking at the city from one of its best-known bridges, you'll see Austin inside and out — plus check out one of the best record stores, a must in the live music capital of Texas.
