Austin is known for its popular music festivals, but the city’s local music scene is constantly thriving and evolving, even when megawatt artists aren’t in town. With more than 250 music venues, there’s no shortage of live performances and concerts in Austin on any given day — hence why the city declared itself as the “Live Music Capital of the World.” Check out The Continental Club, a music landmark that’s been around for more than 60 years.
We love checking out the fun shops in this neighborhood. Very walkable and easy access to food trucks (an Austin staple). Don't forget to take a selfie at the famous "I love you so much!" mural at Jo's Coffee. Tag #RingingInTheSmiths #FuentesSmith2020 so we can share in the fun!
In addition to its famous food trucks, Austin has a major craft beer scene. When it comes to beer fanatics and foodies, no trip to the city is complete without paying a visit to one of Austin’s top breweries and checking out the local cuisine.
