Why Georgetown is growing
North of Austin, Georgetown pairs a Victorian courthouse square with river trails, caves and steady growth along the I-35 corridor. The guide below connects the town to nearby parks, signature stops, local food and golf so it can anchor a full weekend instead of a quick pass-through.
Tour Inner Space Cavern in the morning, then lunch on the square.
