This exciting three-day itinerary guides you through a portion of the Texas Triangle. Initially, you'll delve into the neighboring cities of Dallas and Fort Worth. While often thought of as twin cities, it's probably more accurate to describe them as fraternal twins. Each city has its own distinct flavor, vibe, and history.
On your return journey, you'll diverge from the original route, heading towards Austin. Here, you'll encounter the eclectic and historical spirit of Texas. On this action-packed trip, you'll get a roundup of all that as you explore each city's highlights and lesser-known delights. Savor Texas at its finest.
