Fredericksburg is famous for its many fine bed and breakfast accommodations.  There are also several motels available.  At Lady Bird Johnson Municipal Park (just down the street), you will find golfing, tennis, and picnic areas.  Antique stores and boutiques line Fredericksburg’s Main Street.  Local restaurants serve a variety of foods including traditional German menus.

Enchanted Rock State Natural Area is ideal for hiking, backpacking, nature study and picnics.  There are numerous Texas wine vineyards that offer tasting rooms and tours.  LBJ State and National Parks are about 17 miles east on Highway 290 and make a great day trip.  Pedernales Falls State Park is located out Highway 290 just past Johnson City and spreads across 5,200 acres. 

Even if you are not a ‘museum person’ you’ll enjoy Fredericksburg’s fine museums.  The Pioneer Museum Complex showcases superb examples of early German structures and artifacts.  The Vereins Kirsche, located in Marketplatz is a reproduction of Fredericksburg’s German founder’s original community church and gathering place.  The National Museum of the Pacific War (The Nimitz Museum) is dedicated to everyone who served in the Pacific War.
