Things To Do
Retro Boat Rentals ATX
Take a float down Lady Bird Lake in a charming retro boat! With room for a small group, you can relax, soak up the sun, and enjoy stunning views of the city. Plus, it’s BYOB, so bring your favorite drinks and snacks for the perfect day on the water! (Note: Be sure to book on Lady Bird Lake, not Lake Austin, as Lady Bird is conveniently located downtown.)

Barton Springs Pool
A natural spring-fed pool in Zilker Park, perfect for cooling off year-round.
South Congress Avenue
Stroll through local shops, boutiques, and restaurants on this iconic street, full of Austin’s charm. Usually when I go I type in STAG as a good central point to get to SOCO. They usually have lots of pop ups on the weekends!
Austin Bat Tours
At dusk, see 1.5 million bats take flight, creating a unique natural spectacle. Lots of people go to the bridge for this each night. No reservation needed just show up!
Zilker Metropolitan Park
Austin’s central park, covering over 350 acres, ideal for relaxing and outdoor activities.
Il Brutto
One of our favorite Italian spots! Walkable from some great bars in East Austin, Il Brutto is known for its fresh, homemade pasta and wood-fired pizzas. You have to try the burrata pizza. The outdoor seating is perfect for a cozy evening, and they even treat you to complimentary limoncello with your meal! Italian Restaurant $$$
Quattro Gatti Ristorante e Pizzeria
Located right next to the Capitol building, Quattro serves up authentic Italian cuisine. Their truffle Italian sausage pasta is a must-try! The warm hospitality from the owners makes every visit special, offering a true taste of Italy in the heart of Austin. Italian Restaurant $$$
Uchi Austin
Our absolute favorite restaurant! Uchi is a high-end sushi spot known for innovative dishes and an upscale vibe. It’s a pricier dining experience, but 100% worth it for the tasting menus and premium sushi. If you can get in, don’t miss out—it's truly an experience! Make sure to make res. way ahead of time on Open table because it's booked out far in advance usually. Japanese Restaurant $$$$
Terry Black's Barbecue
If you’re craving Texas barbecue, Terry Black’s is a must! They are famous for their mouthwatering brisket, ribs, and classic sides like mac & cheese and coleslaw, it’s the perfect spot for an authentic BBQ experience. Just be ready for a line, but it’s worth the wait! BBQ Restaurant $$
