[title]A dream holiday means something unique to everyone. For some, it might mean switching off and lounging in the lap of luxury; others run their itineraries full of cultural hotspots. And while taking in the local history might be one person’s bag, their travelling companion might prefer to get to know a destination by heading out and sampling the best nightlife it has to offer. No two of us are exactly the same, after all.
Whatever your holiday style, however, you’ll definitely find something to love in Texas, the Lone Star State. Whether you’re keen to pull on a Stetson and experience a real-life rodeo first-hand, or you’d rather get into nature to see some of the world’s most breathtaking landscapes up close, there’s a Texan holiday for you.
That’s why, together with Travel Texas, we’re offering one winner a seven-night trip to Texas – but what you do with it is totally up to you. Journey to any part of the state that you like, and do whatever you like. Maybe you’ve always dreamed of hitting up a baseball game, or soaking up southern city life in Austin or Houston. The prize includesround trip airfare for two, to Texas from the UK airport of your choice, and seven nights accommodation (minimum of two Texas destinations of your choice). You’ll also get £300 to spend on any attractions of your choice! There’s even an option to include car hire for up to a maximum of seven days.*
If you need a little inspiration, consider making a reservation at a dude ranch in Bandera, otherwise known as the ‘Cowboy Capital of the World’? And if that’s not your speed, maybe you’ll consider sandboarding on the mind-blowing, ever-evolving dunes of the Monahans Sandhills National Park. The state is also home to top-tier shopping, UNESCO World Heritage sites (South Texas is an architectural gem, home to the largest concentration of Spanish missions in the US), and a globally renowned arts scene in Marfa.
And that’s before we even get onto the food: the state is one of North America’s major barbecue hubs, and cities like Lockhart are home to many world-famous, family-run restaurants serving up meats smoked low-n-slow, with a side of charming southern hospitality. Elsewhere, the unique fusion of barbecue and Mexican cuisines can be sampled in cities like San Antonio and Laredo.
With thrill-seekers, culture lovers and everyone in between welcome (and well-served!), a holiday to Texas can be whatever you want it to be, and more. To be in with a chance of winning your own tailormade Texas trip, all you have to do is enter below.
