The essential guide to Austin
Austin is a vibrant city unlike any other in Texas, or even
the world. Well-known as a cultural hub for the quirky and
offbeat, there is always something unique going on for
visitors and residents alike.
The state capital is by any standards a big city. Somehow,
though, Austin has kept its small-town heart, earning all
the love it gets. Highlights include outdoor adventures
with a view of the skyline, a world-class live music scene,
culinary prowess, and a creative streak that shows up in
the most unexpected places. Here are some of our favorite ways Austin stands apart.
If you’re visiting from March through October, you can’t
miss the free spectacle of more than a million Mexican
free-tailed bats taking to the skies from Congress Avenue
Bridge.
After the bats 昀氀y away, make your way into downtown to
check out one of dozens of live music spots. From dive
bars to major music venues, traditional country to
experimental rock, there’s something for every ear.
The hotel staff have compiled a list of recommended
activities to help you experience the area’s most popular
attractions and hidden treasures in Austin.
