Can someone explain the appeal of Marfa, Texas to me?

It pops up every now and then in Instagram reels.

Is it worth a visit? What’s there to see and do? What type of tourist / person does it attract and what types live there? It appears you can see it all in a day. Is that true?

People from Austin and New Orleans. You should pretty much get the picture.

It's a town out in the middle of nowhere that was relevant when it was a water stop for the railroad.

Now it's a hipster/girls weekend destination.

It's fine for a weekend getaway in Far West Texas. The St. George is a good hotel option with decent food.

The Gage Hotel in Marathon is another good option if you just want a weekend away out in BFE.
