Texas Holidays
Stetsons at the ready, Texas is pure cowboy country. The second biggest state in the USA, there’s plenty to see here, and it’ll undoubtedly take more than one visit to do so. Discover the home of NASA’s Mission Control in Houston, watch the rodeo in Dallas/Fort Worth, remember the Alamo in San Antonio, and immerse yourself in the sounds of state capital Austin, renowned for being the Live Music Capital of the World. And, wherever you go, be sure to tuck into a basket of ribs, brisket and sausage – after all, the barbecue roots run deep in the Lone Star State.
Popular Texas Holidays
From the mammoth mountains of Big Bend National Park, to the arid landscapes of the Chihuahuan Desert, Texas’s size is what makes it one of America’s most diverse states. Don’t let the vastness of it put you off though; in fact Flight Centre can help you experience the best of it. Our tailor-made Texas holidays called Journeys include flights, hotels, transfers and car hire – not to mention some amazing travel experiences. And the best bit is that the itineraries can be customised, so you can chat to our Travel Experts about incorporating a Dallas Cowboys football game, a visit to the Johnson Space Center or an overnight stay on a working ranch, to name a few.

When to Go to Texas
With its glorious sunny weather, there’s never a bad time to visit Texas.
