You can take a boat tour around Lady Bird Lake and see the infamous bats at sunset. Or, stand on the Pedestrian Bridge and see them fly out from under you!
South Congress
South Congress is an Austin staple - full of shopping, food and music. Make sure you check out the iconic Allen's Boots and get a coffee at Jo's!
The Domain
If you're anything like Alli and addicted to shopping, check out the Domain for stores like Malbon, lululemon, Lucchese, Dick's or Zara. Lots of good restaurants too!

Dirty 6th Street
They call it Dirty for a reason - similar to Broadway in Nashville, go during the day for a more laid back experience, but go at night to see the city come alive. This is your spot if you want to go bar hopping (specifically with college kids).
