Travel Note

Downtown

The most central option, putting you within walking distance of the Texas State Capitol, Sixth Street live music venues, world-class restaurants, and the Congress Avenue Bridge; ideal for anyone who wants to be close to everything Austin has to offer.

Travel Note

Zilker & South Lamar

Nice for outdoor enthusiasts, centered around Zilker Park and Lady Bird Lake, with options for kayaking, paddleboarding, and miles of hike-and-bike trails along the water that are especially pleasant in November.

Travel Note

East Austin

A vibrant neighborhood packed with breweries, wine bars, eclectic restaurants, food trucks, and coffee shops — one of the best areas in the city to spend a full day just eating, drinking, and exploring on foot.

Travel Note

South Congress

Once the heart of Austin's quirky, eclectic identity, SoCo has evolved into a polished, walkable stretch of well-known restaurants, boutiques, and coffee shops. A great home base for folks who want convenience and a walkable, lively street atmosphere.

Travel Note

Hyde Park & North Loop

Hyde Park's bungalows and tree-lined streets offer a quiet, residential feel, while nearby North Loop adds a fun edge with its concentration of vintage shops, thrift stores, and laid-back dives and parks. A great combo for folks who want a more lived-in Austin experience. (This is where Doug and Maddie live)
