The Sweet Spot: Seguin as your Launchpad to Austin and San Antonio

Planning a trip to Central Texas soon? Seguin is the ideal central location for exploring both Austin and San Antonio, offering a unique blend of affordability, tranquility, and accessibility.

A hidden gem

The charm of Seguin captivates visitors the moment they arrive. With a historic downtown district, unique local events, mouth-watering cuisine, and Texas hospitality, Seguin makes the perfect base camp for a visit to Central Texas.

Whether looking for a riverside retreat or a traditional hotel room, Seguin offers unique and affordable lodging options. Stay the night in a haunted historic bed & breakfast, a historic mansion, creekside cabins, or a hotel and experience the slower pace of a small town.

Upon visiting our downtown district, you will be greeted with the savory smell of award-winning Texas barbeque as soon as you get out of the car. Burnt Bean Co. has been recognized nationwide for its unique take on barbeque tradition. If barbeque isn't your thing, you can experience a farm-to-table meal at Pecantown Books & Brews, patio views of the river at the Power Plant, or delicious Mexican cuisine at Su Casa Cafe.
