Texas is full of stunning cities, towns, and landscapes praised by travelers around the world, so to be named the "best must-visit small town" in the entire state is a pretty big deal.
Be it close-knit community feels or bountiful local activities, something about this charming location landed it on Thrillist's list of the best small towns to visit across the country, and today, we're going to discuss why.
Per the list, the best small town to visit in Texas is Marfa. Marfa houses 1,788 people and is known for its galleries, film festivals, and unique desert charm.
Here's what Thrillist had to say about the best must-visit small town in the entire state:
"When modern artist Donald Judd fell in love with this desert community in the 1970s, he ended up changing it forever, transforming it into an art hub renowned for its galleries and yearly film and music festivals. Judd’s Chinati Foundation is a necessary pilgrimage for any art aficionado (the drive here is no joke), as is the overly-Instagrammed Prada Marfa (plus there are amazing restaurants right in the middle of nowhere). After the sun sets, set up a folding chair at the Marfa Lights Viewing Area and watch for flashes (extraterrestrials, maybe?) dancing in the Texas sky. Enjoy a heavy pour of cheap whiskey at Lost Horse Saloon, then lay your head down in a yurt at the oh-so-trendy El Cosmico."
