The Best Way to Enjoy a Short Trip to Galveston Resort City

Galveston resort city is situated on the southeast coast of Pelican and Galveston Island. The resort city is known to be biggest tourist destination. The main attraction of this city is historical architecture. The whole city is covered with buildings that were constructed in Victorian and Greek era. The city speaks about its history of all these years and locals have also restored all its artefacts with care.

The major economy in Galveston is obtained from shipping, finance, health care, and tourism. Tourists spend their holiday in Galveston Texas to enjoy the scenic beauty and the moderate temperature near the sea. The Island is covered with dolphins and you can enjoy the sight of jumping and swimming dolphins from your boat or cruise. There are museums, parks, water parks, picnic areas, and monuments to enjoy the entire day. Also, one should enjoy nightlife on beaches where clubs, bars, and pubs provide drinks, live music and authentic seafood cuisines. Thus, food tour is also important.

Those who visit Galveston city can never miss the chance of exploring the Strand District. It is in the downtown Galveston where the streets are covered with historic buildings constructed during the Victorian era. During economic loss, most of these buildings were demolished, but it was George Mitchell and Cynthia Mitchell, who invested around $175 million to revive those buildings. Now, there are 200 businesses running on that street and Mitchell Historic Properties help in providing shops for businesses and home to buy or on lease. Their major motive is to keep the history alive by reinstating the buildings and maintaining their architect.

If you’re on a short trip and looking to enjoy to the fullest, then visit Galveston city because even in two day, you can have full fun –

  • Day 1
  • Day 2
  • Day 3

Day 1

Settle in your hotel which should have been booked online beforehand. It is a tourist place so during peak season it is difficult to find accommodation. Try booking hotel in downtown where you can enjoy the lovely architecture and stay in old homes. Relax for half an hour and start your tour with Opera House.

Don’t forget to eat your breakfast in a good local restaurant. Try all local food which will also include different types of seafood. Take a ghost tour in the evening with a tour guide and end your trip for first day with rooftop dinner from where you can view the night lights on Stewart Beach and Pleasure Pier.

Day 2

Second day is slight hectic so begin early morning after eating your breakfast. Start with Bishop’s Palace and end at Galveston Island State Park where you can sit and relax and also have refreshments. There are many activities like kayaking, fishing that can be enjoyed. Finally, end your evening n with a quiet walk on the Seawall path and take your dinner at a local restaurant.

Day 3

Third day is the last day of the trip so let’s not make it very tiring. Either go for the Dolphin tour or visit a museum. Next, cover Texas Seaport Museum to see the ELISSA ship. Moody Gardens and waterpark is optional, but I will suggest you shouldn’t miss anything. Finally, the day is over with an exciting tour and was fun filling.

Before deciding for a trip, it is wise to know about the city well. This can be done online as well so that you know how to move and every single day.
