Things to do in Texas

While on a business trip in Texas, there are undoubtedly a lot of things to do. Some of our top places to visit while staying in Texas corporate housing are listed below:

Hamilton Pool Park - This is a natural preserve where the Pedernales River cascades over limestone outcroppings to form a 50-foot waterfall and a swimming hole with breath-taking views. The hiking route to the swimming hole is a quarter mile long, and there are many more hiking trails and picnic sites along the way in this preserve.

Natural Bridge Caverns - This is the state's largest commercial cave and one of Texas' most popular attractions. You have the option of taking a guided tour of one or more of the caves or participating in one of the many twisted zip trails or ropes courses.

Lake Texoma - Sometimes known locally as Texoma or Texomaland, is located on the Red River between Oklahoma and Texas. There are various activities you may enjoy here, like hiking, fishing, hunting, picnics, and dinner cruises. The lake is also available all year for swimming.

Transport in Texas

Texas has always been difficult to traverse due to its vast size and rugged terrain. To compensate, the state has built America's largest highway and train networks, making it easier to get to and from serviced accommodations in Texas.

Airports - Texas has the second-most airports in the country, with 730. The state's biggest airports are Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH), San Antonio International Airport, El Paso International Airport, and Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. The DFW airport is the busiest in Texas and the sixth busiest in the world.

Transit systems – These are typically provided across three entities: rural transit districts, urban transit districts, and metropolitan transit districts. Rural transit districts serve regions with fewer than 50,000 people, and in addition to fixed-route bus service, demand-response transit is frequently used. The urban transportation system serves populations ranging from 50,000 to 199,999, while the metropolitan system serves populations of 200,000 or more.

Highways and Roads - The car or truck is the preferred form of transportation for the majority of Texans, and the state's highways and roads are well-maintained and designed for speed. It is not uncommon to rent a car while visiting the lone star state. The State Highway 130 toll road in Central Texas has the highest speed restriction in the country—85 miles per hour—at its southernmost stretch.

Things to know when visiting Texas

When staying in a serviced apartment in Texas, there are a few key things to know about the prevailing cultural norms.

Food – Texas is a large state, and its cuisine has been influenced by a wide range of cultures including Southern, German, African American, Creole, and Mexican. Some of the most commonly eaten meals in the lone start state are barbecues, hamburgers, chilis, steaks, and corn dogs. Pecan pie is also very popular in most southern states, but Texas is the only one that claims it as its official state desert. The state is very big on their meats and their serving sizes are larger, the cities are more spread out, and the vehicles are bigger. So if you’re ordering at a restaurant and don’t eat a lot, it is recommended sharing a dish.

Slangs and Phrases – Everyone knows Y’all is common lingo in Texas but not many people point out other words or vernacular used in the state. For example, “Coke” refers to any carbonated beverage, not specifically Coca-Cola. “Bless your heart” is an expression used to show pity, the famous “Howdy” means hello, “This ain’t my first rodeo” means to have experience in something and last but not least, “Y’all” is short for ‘you all.’

Climate – Although there isn't a particularly bad time of year for the weather, the state's semi-arid and desert parts have especially hot summers. Despite a little spring rain, the spring and fall are moderate and comfortable in terms of temperature. Fall sees less rain and day temperatures ranging from 70⁰F (21.1⁰C) to 80⁰F (26.7⁰C). Winter in Texas may be chilly and snowy in certain areas, especially in the north. Additionally, the state is susceptible to tornadoes, hurricanes, and thunderstorms.
