San Marcos is located only 30 miles from Austin, and it boasts plenty of green space, a historic downtown core, and the largest outlet center in America. There are plenty of trendy shops, restaurants and welcoming cafes for visitors to enjoy, but nature lovers shouldn't despair; the nearby San Marcos River provides the opportunity to enjoy watersports like kayaking and fly-fishing. The city is worth more than a day trip from Austin, but no matter how long your visit is going to be, here are the best things to see and do while you're there.
