Culture & heritage: It has strong German and Hispanic heritage, reflected in festivals, historic buildings, cuisine, and local culture.
Outdoor & recreational features: The city has two rivers (the Comal River and the Guadalupe River) running through it; tubing, kayaking, and other water recreation are big parts of the region’s appeal.
