Riserva Tour and Travel’s Top 5 Texas Staycations

 

Taking a “Holiday Staycation” is a great way for you to slow down and enjoy the holiday season together as a family while staying within your schedule and budget.  Staycations are a great way to spend the holidays because you are not flying to faraway destinations, but it still allows you to take a few days off, relax, explore with your family, and discover new things about the place you live.

Austin

Austin has street art in some of the most unexpected places. Have you had your picture taken at this mural?

 

The city known as the Live Music Capital of World has a warm friendly Texas vibe.  Austin is fun, exciting, and offers plenty of family friendly things to do throughout the year.   Even if you are a local or live nearby, the holidays are a great time to discover downtown Austin.  You will experience great food, outdoor activities, amazing art galleries, murals, music, and fun people.  Stay a couple of nights downtown and experience the eclectic vibe of Austin.  Riserva Tour and Travel’s top two recommendations near South Congress are the Austin Motel and Hotel Saint Cecila.  You and your family will enjoy exploring SoCo and all of the fun activities in the area.  Fill your day shopping in SoCo, taking a tour of the Capital, kayaking along Lady Bird Lake, or seeing the the bats fly at Congress bridge.  If you are spending the night in one of the hotels we recommended you carve out time to lounge by the hotel fifty’s stylish pools…weather permitting, it is Texas y’all!
