Victoria, Texas, is often called “the Crossroads” because of how close it is to some of the biggest attractions and cities in the state.

Indeed, at first it might seem like Victoria wouldn’t be an obvious choice for a vacation retreat, but when you realize that almost anything a vacationer would want to do is within a two-hour day-trip, suddenly the town seems like a great place for a base operations.

Victoria is within a two-hour drive of Corpus Christi, Shiner (and the Spoetzl Brewery), the Texas Independence Wine Trail, Goliad State Park, the Great Coastal Texas Barbecue Trail, San Antonio, Houston, and Austin.

And on SecondShelters.com, we have a gorgeously restored 1880s Queen Anne that will make a great base of operations for vacationing families just off Main Street Victoria.
