Shop, eat and walk along South Congress. Some favorites are South Congress Cafe, Guero's Taco Bar, Homeslice, and Perla's. Be sure to stop by Allen's Boots and Uncommon Objects or swing by the Austin Motel for a drink at Joann's!
If you want a gorgeous view of downtown and the scenic hills - hike to the top! To make your way to the 360 Overlook, head south on 360 Loop (Capital of Texas Highway) from 2222. After passing a neighborhood (W Courtyard Dr) and just before the huge bridge, you will see parking on the side of the road alongside a cliff to your right. Park there (even though it says no parking).
