The Ultimate Itinerary For A Weekend Trip To Round Top, The Antiquing Capital Of Texas

I'm an unabashed antique lover. To me, there are few things more rewarding than sifting through piles of rare, unique, and one-of-a-kind items to find that one special diamond in the rough. If you agree, then you'll love a trip to Round Top, Texas, a rustic, yet chic little town that's worth visiting year-round. We've compiled some of the best things to do in Round Top, Texas on a weekend trip, from incredible restaurants to a boutique inn to - of course - antique stores.

Round Top, Texas has a population of just 90 - except during the spring and fall (and now winter), when thousands of people descend on the small Hill Country town to attend one of the nation's largest antique shows.

If you aren't a fan of huge crowds, however, you can peruse world-class antiques in Round Top any time of year.

Round Top Vintage Market (known to locals as "The Big Red Barn") is open on weekends year-round. The sprawling marketplace boasts over 13,000 square feet of rare, handmade, and unique finds.

Another great place to shop in town is the Round Top Antiques & Design Center.

Located in the quaint Henkel Square Market, the center hosts leading vendors in the antique space, so it's virtually impossible to leave empty-handed.

Market Hill is also worth a visit during your weekend in Round Top.

With everything from home goods to furniture, this vast, expansive marketplace is full of diamonds in the rough.

While you're at Market Hill, be sure to enjoy a meal at Duo Modern.

Open daily for lunch and dinner, this incredible restaurant offers a menu of chef-crafted cuisine that emphasizes fresh, seasonal ingredients.

It would be criminal to visit Round Top without stopping by Royers Round Top Cafe.

Easily the most popular restaurant in town, the charming eatery is best known for its mouthwatering pies that are made fresh daily. There are dozens of flavors to choose from, including classics like pecan and apple as well as more unique offerings like "Texas Trash," which features coconut, chocolate chips, graham crackers, pretzels, and caramel.

What's a weekend getaway without brunch? Feed & Firewater has you covered.

From mimosas to homemade cinnamon rolls to brunch burgers, this is the absolute best way to start your day.

Of course, you'll need somewhere to stay while you're in town, and I highly recommend The Wander Inn.

The brainchild of the famous "Junk Gypsy" sisters, this eclectic hotel features several rustic houses, each with several rooms located both upstairs and downstairs. Each room has its own unique theme and comes with all of the modern amenities necessary to make you feel right at home.

Guests also have access to a 65-acre outdoor area complete with gas firepits, Adirondack chairs, bicycles, and stock tank Cowboy Pools.
