Ideas for Romantic Getaways in Texas
A Guide to Romantic Getaways in Texas – San Antonio, Texas Hill Country, Houston, Dallas, plus Texas Beaches, B&B’s, and Resorts.
Here’s our guide to planning your Texas romantic getaway! The Lone Star State is huge (800 miles across each way), so we’ll just cover a few of the highlights here for a romantic getaway or weekend.
Planning a Trip to Texas – The best time to visit Texas would be either the spring (great for wildflowers blooming) or fall, when temps are more moderate. The summers can get very hot, with high humidity.
Romantic Getaways in San Antonio, TX
The San Antonio River Walk is the place to be in downtown San Antonio, with shops and restaurants up and down the tree-lined canal and promenade. Historical sites like the Alamo and La Villita are only a short walk away. And don't miss the river barge tour!

Romantic Getaways in Texas Hill Country
Meadows and streams, vibrant wildflowers and rolling hills make the Texas Hill Country standout as one of the prettiest in the south. The serene country atmosphere makes it one of the best romantic retreats in Texas. Don't Miss:
- The Texas Hill Country Wine Trail is a collection of 16 wineries that have special events, tastings, etc. If you’ve got a car, this makes a nice romantic Hill Country road trip.
- Fredericksburg is an attractive, Bavarian-style town, “deep in the heart of Texas”! The hub of the Hill Country is certainly worth a visit, and a
romantic Hill Country bed and breakfast
is a “must-sleep” here. There's also a number of day spas in the area.
