Fredericksburg has become a Hill Country mecca. Located one hour from San Antonio and Austin, the landscape changes dramatically from lower elevations of the Coastal Plains. Rising almost 2000 feet and topping out on the Edwards Plateau, Fredericksburg visitors are treated to a quaint, old world German village filled with restaurants, beer gardens and architecture from it's founding days of the 1800's, which blends very nicely with the boutiques, NY style bistros, microbreweries, wineries and tapas bars, all found in the Historic Downtown District! Ladies on a girls weekend, and couples, will love browsing through some of the finest and most eclectic shops to be found anywhere! Of course, there are always the intermittent stops for wine tastings, and later, fabulous dining at any of the great restaurants Fredericksburg has to offer!!

Visitors, who are geocache enthusiasts, can test their GPS skills in hopes of locating one or more of the 20 caches hiding in plain sight around town!

Those who are artistically inclined may want to sign up for classes at the "Yellow Door" art studio which offers sessions for all ability levels from beginner to advanced!

Venturing a short distance out of town, driving east on Hwy 290, one finds themselves in the heart of the wine country with dozens of wineries and vineyards just waiting for patrons to sample acclaimed, award winning wines!

Sightseeing is at its best when traveling north a few miles, where adventurers will gaze in awe and amazement as Enchanted Rock comes into view. Located within a State Park, hiking, picnicking, camping and rock climbing are all a part of the experience, in one of the most visited parks in Texas. Stargazers will enjoy the clear skies, in that the park has been recently awarded an official designation as a "National Dark Sky" location, assuring virtually no light pollution in the surrounding area!

And ... don't forget, LBJ Ranch State Park located near Johnson City. Visit the Texas White House where President Johnson held many of his cabinet meetings during his time in office. Take a tour, in your car, of the Ranch at your own pace, accompanied by a recording which identifies and describes points of interest along the way. Passengers will be stopping at the President's birthplace, private airstrip, river views, the Johnson family cemetery and much more! The tour's final stop is an inside tour of Lyndon and Lady Bird's ranch house, better known as the Texas White House.

Springtime visitors will be treated to an array of wildflowers along Willow City Loop north of town. Here, the dramatic, rugged landscape is blanketed with Indian paint brush, coreopsis, coneflowers, cosmos, bluebonnets and sunflowers revealing brilliant colors of every hue imaginable.

Travel east on Hwy. 290 and exit the Old San Antonio Road for an afternoon of music, socializing and just kicking back in the burg of Luckenbach, TX. Remember "Everybody is Somebody" in Luckenbach. When you're ready for an award winning burger, travel a few miles up the road to Alamo Springs Cafe, where everyone will enjoy an old-time country feeling, while dining in the atmosphere of a country store right out of the 1800's.

A few steps away, have a seat in an amphitheater, and listen to a Park Ranger describe the exodus of millions of Mexican free tail bats, that rise up from their roost in a deserted tunnel, which was carved to make way for a railroad line that once connected San Antonio with the hill country for trade purposes. It is now called Old Tunnel State Park and is the smallest state park in the U.S. Best viewing is between May and September.

Aside from dining, art galleries, and shopping etc., Downtown offers a variety of museums, including the Pioneer Museum located on 3 acres, which depicts life in the old west, but also delves into the history of Fredericksburg and the surrounding Hill Country. A few blocks away, one will find the nationally acclaimed George H. W. Bush Gallery, the Admiral Nimitz and the National Museum of the Pacific War, honoring our WWII military, recounting important battles that helped to win the war.
