Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Culture and heritage
Buddy Holly Center
The Buddy Holly Center anchor Lubbock in the history of rock-making, through iconic glasses, instruments, archives and memories linked to the musician. The surrounding area, with its rooms and frescoes, extends this musical memory without turning the visit into a simple nostalgic pilgrimage.
Culture and heritage
National Ranching Heritage Center
To National Ranching Heritage Center, displaced and restored ranch buildings tell the evolution of livestock life in the U.S. West. From rustic huts to more elaborate houses, with saddles, fences, kitchens and tools that give a very concrete idea of the everyday life of the plains.
Nature and panorama
Caprock Canyons State Park
Caprock Canyons State Park reveals red cliffs, dry ravines and meadows where the official Texas bison herd travels. The exposed trails require a choice of cool hours, but the morning or evening light gives the walls a particularly bright colour.
Nature and landscape
Prairie Dog Town
Prairie Dog Town, in Mackenzie Park Lubbock, allows you to observe closely a colony of prairie dogs in their nerve paths and comings. The place is simple, quick to visit, but the alarm screams, burrows and raised silhouettes make the scene very lively.
