Nature of these places is very diverse, the western part of the state is dominated by desert, southern regions are covered with swamps, the eastern territory is occupied by dense forests, and the north is dominated by prairie. Travelers are attracted mainly by old cities of Texas. Each of them has a historic district and the new part of the city; such a contrast will allow you to make a rest exciting and eventful.

All buildings are built in different architectural styles and look very impressive.
In the eastern part of the town there are shops and several historical sites, including Lakewood Theatre, Brian Square, Vickery Square, as well as a beautiful botanical garden, where you can take refuge in the heat of the day.
