Harlingen Travel Guide
Welcome to Harlingen!
Just north of Mexico and only a few miles from white sandy beaches on the Gulf of Mexico, sits Harlingen. Thanks to the two major bird flyways that cross over it, Harlingen is home to world-renowned tropical bird watching and the Rio Grande Birding Festival. The area is a nature-lover's paradise with nearby beaches, a 40-acre (16-ha) bird sanctuary and over 45,000 acres (18,211 ha) of wildlife preserves surrounding the city. Downtown Harlingen is rich with antiques, clothing, crafts and food, and is home to a large street-vendor market the first Saturday of every month. Car fanatics enjoy the Chevrolet Antique Car Museum while history buffs marvel at the Iwo Jima Museum, home to the original sculpture used to cast the bronze Marine Corps Memorial in Arlington, Virginia. The warm sun, great shopping and tourist attractions in Harlingen welcome any traveler.
