There's nothing like a summer under the Texan sun. Between historic Austin, the scenic climate of New Braunfels, and the adventures under the stars at Big Bend National Park, there's so much to discover during summer vacations in Texas.

1. Galveston Beach
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. Between beach volleyball, shopping along the Stand, and the water rides at nearby Schlitterbahn, there's a ton of fun activities for everyone to enjoy.

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.

3. Big Bend National Park
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.

4. New Braunfels
Try a tubing excursion on the Guadalupe or Comal River, and enjoy the lush greenery and calming waters of nature. You can even float down the river and eat some traditional German fare in town, or pay a visit to the Stars & Stripes Drive-In Theater for a blast from the past.

5. Santa Fe
Get away from the heat and into a bit of culture by visiting The Railyard, a nucleus of art featuring contemporary galleries and performance spaces, then enjoy the restorative benefits of four-hand massages, oxygen facials and herbal wraps at the local spas.
