Two Amazing Texas Cities Secure Top Ten List This Year

When it comes to having a good time, the Lone Star State knows how to deliver. According to WalletHub’s Most Fun Cities in America rankings, two Texas hotspots have cracked the top 10, with Austin landing at No. 6 and Houston strutting around at No. 9. 

This isn’t just a win for these cities. It’s a victory for anyone who loves good food, great nightlife, and the occasional two-step under the stars. 

Austin, the self-proclaimed Live Music Capital of the World, soared thanks to its legendary nightlife and robust entertainment options. Whether you’re catching a live show on Sixth Street or paddleboarding on Lady Bird Lake, Austin proves there’s always something fun to do even if it involves sweating outdoors. 

Houston, meanwhile, climbed the ranks with its unbeatable diversity of attractions. H-Town earned top marks for its restaurants, dance clubs, and must-see destinations. You should know that Houston also scored high in affordability, so you can enjoy everything from a gourmet meal to a cold beer without breaking the bank. 

While Austin gets its fair share of attention for being cool and quirky, Houston’s inclusion in the top 10 shows that fun in Texas doesn’t have to come with a side of hipster vibes. Houston delivers fun for all ages with playgrounds, parks, and world-class museums.  

The fact that Texas has two cities in the top 10 says it all. The Lone Star State knows how to party whether you’re a night owl or a nature lover. Las Vegas may have taken the No. 1 spot, but Texans know that what happens in Austin and Houston. It’s just as unforgettable as Las Vegas, and It’s way less likely to involve Elvis impersonators.
