Things To Do

Great hiking trails that run throughout the city!
Texas State Capitol

The Contemporary Austin - Laguna Gloria
A beautiful sculpture garden just outside of town that is great for appreciating art, nature or the picnic snacks you brought!
South Congress Shopping
Lots of souvenir, art and clothing shops! Our favorite is Parts & Labor which has a little bit of everything. This street is also home to many of Austin’s famous murals.
Rainey Street
A street lined with old bungalow houses that have all been converted into bars. Some of our favorites are Bangers, Unbarlievable, and Craft Pride which has our favorite pizza food truck, Via313, out back!
Broken Spoke
The most famous honkey tonk in Austin! Learn to two-step, listen to music or just relish in the fact that a scene of Friday Night Lights was filmed here!
The Continental Club
Historic Austin music venue on South Congress that has nightly shows you can stop into!
Torchys Tacos

Gourdough's Public House
Everything is served on a donut! You can get full meals here, but we recommend going for dessert and tasting as many of their decadent donuts as possible.
Matt's El Rancho
The most famous Tex-Mex restaurant in town! There is typically a long wait, made quicker by the delicious margaritas, but if you want to skip the line, Maudie’s Too is a great alternative right up the street!

Local vodka distillery with great cocktails in a nice part of Hill Country!
Jester King -- Brewery, Kitchen, Farm & Event Hall
The best brewery around if you are willing to venture out to Hill Country, about a 25 minute drive from downtown! Jester King is well known for their sour beers but also has great food, friendly goats and a fun farm tour!
