South Congress (SoCo) is one of Austin's trendiest neighborhoods for grabbing a bite to eat, shopping, and listening to live music. Buzzing with foot traffic all day and night, the unique area is made popular by its quirky storefronts and panoramic view of the downtown skyline and State Capitol.
One of the highest natural points in Austin, Mount Bonnell has been a popular destination since the 1850's and remains one of the city's most revered attractions. Prepare to ascend a 100-step staircase guided by a handrail. From the top of the scenic overlook, you'll marvel at views of the Colorado River. Explore the trails or bring a picnic. Whatever you do, stick around for an unforgettable Texas sunset.
