Why Fall is the Perfect Time to Visit Austin & San Antonio

September 19, 2011

Summer travel within Texas is tough, because your choices are hot, hotter and hottest. But when fall rolls around and the temperature drops below 90, it’s a whole ‘nother story.

As a matter of fact, Travel + Leisure magazine ranked both Austin and San Antonio as being among America’s Top Cities for Fall Travel and America’s Best Cities for Foodies.

Austin ranks #8 on the list for fall travel because the city comes alive with the buzz and energy surrounding Longhorn football, and it ranks #15 on the list of foodie cities for its BBQ and Tex-Mex. Uchi, Barley Swine and TacoDeli are must-sees.

San Antonio ranks #14 on the fall travel lineup because its famous Day of the Dead festival is something to behold from October 31 – November 2. San Antonio makes the foodie list at #10 for its ethnic fare and BBQ. Head off the tourist grid to Southtown (south of downtown) for The Monterey and The Friendly Spot.
