The holiday season is a fabulous time to visit Fredericksburg, located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, with events and decorations flavored by our German and frontier heritage. Once again, historic Main Street will be ablaze with thousands of white lights each evening and Marktplatz is transformed into a lighted winter wonderland with an outdoor ice skating rink.
Located just over an hour from either San Antonio or Austin, Fredericksburg is a shopper’s paradise with more than 150 specialty shops lining downtown streets. You’ll find something for everyone on your list — apparel, antiques and collectibles, fine art, handcrafts by local artisans, Christmas ornaments, regional books, delicious Hill Country foods and wines and much more!
And with 60 restaurants, five museums, outdoor recreation, golf, historic sites and over 900 convenient hotel/motel rooms and over 300 cozy bed & breakfast/guesthouses, Fredericksburg makes a perfect family getaway.
