Things to See in Austin

Description

Austin offers a wide variety of adventures, from embracing the outdoors to perusing more urban areas. You can take a trip to any of the beautiful lakes, such as Lake Austin and Lake Travis, and spend the day paddle boarding or hiking along trails, take a walk down 6th Street and listen to the live music pouring into the streets, or spend your day scouting out vintage shops and art galleries around South Lamar. If you want to learn a little bit about the city’s history, stop by the LBJ Library and Museum to learn about Lyndon Baines Johnson, the Texas native who served as the 36th President of the United States or the Texas State Capitol. Experience how Austin earned its musical reputation by visiting the live music haunts along Red River Street and South Congress, the city’s entertainment district, also home to the legendary Broken Spoke dancehall and the Continental Club. You can even plan your trip during Austin’s two biggest music festivals, Austin City Limits in early fall and South by Southwest (commonly known as SXSW) in the spring.
