USING THIS BOOK

This book is divided into an introductory chapter followed by four main chapters—on Austin, San Antonio, the Hill Country, and Nearby and In Between—each with suggestions of lodging, dining, and things to see and do, arranged by neighborhood. The introductory chapter describes the region’s shared landscape and common history. The unique histories of Austin and San Antonio and the towns of the Hill Country are addressed in the introductions to their respective chapters. Considering the scale of Texas, the cities, towns, and parks covered in this book are relatively close to one another, so as you read bear in mind that many destinations make easy stopovers or day trips.

All the information in this book was verified at the time of its writing. However, things change, and it is always prudent to call ahead or check online.
