Galveston beach is a popular summer destination among Texans, and for good reason. Only about an hour out from Houston, Galveston offers an opportunity to escape the heat and lounge by the water.

2. Austin
Known as the Live Music Capital of the World, a short stroll in Austin will have music enthusiasts fall in love with the many live music acts on display. In the summer, major headline acts hit up the ATX festival, while local acts can be seen anywhere at virtually any time of day. Make sure to visit Texas State Capitol and get a sense of the history of Texas, or walk down South Congress Avenue for some Texan home-cooking.

The perfect place to go for a hike, Big Bend National Park has all kinds of wildlife to discover. You might also want to revisit Big Bend at night, where the pitch-black skies make stargazing an experience unlike anywhere else.
