There’s no better place in the world to tip your cowboy hat and shout “yeehaw” than Texas.The Lone Star state boasts almost 300,000 square miles of southern charm and the city of Austin is considered the live music capital of the world.Take that, Nashville... From Tex-Mex barbecues to whip-cracking honky-tonk, the state capital is a must-see holiday spot that’s become a rival to Los Angeles. Austin hosts the famous South by Southwest Festival - visitors glimpsed Sandra Bullock, Nicholas Cage and Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe at this year’s event - fancy! And, apparently, it’s the fastest growing metropolitan in the country and Elon Musk is inspiring a new Silicon Valley by building a Tesla factory in the area.
Until recently, a trip to Austin was a slog, with Brits spending more than 13 hours in the air with a change or two en route. But with Virgin Atlantic now flying direct from London four times a week, it’s time to saddle up and start sightseeing. Here's a few more reasons why we're Austin comes out on top for us...
The super sunny city is a celeb-magnet! Over a million people call Austin home – and for good reason. It’s one of the sunniest cities in America (300 days of rays a year), giving sunshine state Florida a run for its money. It’s pretty famous, too – Hollywood hits Boyhood, Miss Congeniality, Kill Bill: Vol 1 and What’s Eating Gilbert Grape were all filmed on its streets, while Willie Nelson and Stevie Ray Vaughan settled here to reimagine country music.
Oh, and there’s a chance you could bump into Matthew McConaughey who’s got a mansion nearby. You’ll find live acts singing at speakeasy joints and enough breakfast tacos to cure sore heads on a Sunday morning. We recommend Veracruz All Natural to try
