Round Top’s spring antiques fair is held in April, the autumn show in September – both dates that avoid the rising temperatures of Texas’ scorching-hot summers.
Getting there
Planes
Austin-Bergstrom airport, which lies 65 miles west of Round Top, around an hour’s journey. Houston’s airport is 115 miles in the other direction (you can drive it in about two hours). Both airports have flights from dozens of US cities; from London, you can fly direct to Austin.
Automobiles
A car is an absolute must for sightseeing in Round Top. You’ll cover a lot of ground while exploring this rural spot, and the town is an excellent road-tripping stop. Hire some wheels in Austin or Houston and hit the open road.
