Laredo is one of the busiest inland ports on the US-Mexico border, a bilingual, bicultural city where Tex-Mex cuisine reaches its purest form and the historic San Agustin Plaza anchors a downtown that feels distinctly more Mexican than Texan. It's less a tourist destination than a working border city, but its markets, churches, and binational rhythm make for an authentic slice of the borderlands.

Traveler reviews
★★★★☆
A real working border city — the food alone made the stop worthwhile, especially the breakfast tacos near the plaza.
Esteban R. · January 2024
★★★★☆
San Agustin Plaza and the cathedral were lovely to walk around in the evening when it cooled down. Felt very different from other Texas cities.
Maria G. · March 2023
★★★☆☆
Not much in the way of typical tourist attractions, but Lake Casa Blanca was a pleasant spot for a morning walk before heading on.
