Things To Do In The Hill Country

things_to_doMany families from around the world choose the mid-summer time frame to visit the Texas Hill Country. Some are visiting to either pick-up or drop off their children for summer camp, some are simply on vacation, and others are even on business, but with an area that has so much to do, there’s no reason to not experience all you can during your visit.  We put together a few of the “must-do” destinations for those that are visiting during this time of year.

 

CAVES

The Hill Country has more caves than you might expect. Some are larger than others, but all of them are fascinating. Additionally, with constant cool temperatures year round, they provide a wonderful break from the high temps during the summer months!

DINING

Sure, we all know that Texas is well known for our BBQ, and maybe the San Antonio area is specifically known for some great Mexican food. However, there’s a lot more to offer! Italian, seafood, German, and so much more is available from a variety of fine dining restaurants. Don’t get bogged down with BBQ every day (although it’s fantastic!); be sure to seek out some fine dining and experience it all.
