Things To Do
Kayaking or Walking Lady Bird Lake
Ladybird Lake runs right through downtown Austin and has a 10 mile walking trail along both sides of the river that is super popular for walking, running biking, etc. You can also rent kayaks and paddle boards at multiple spots along the river. If you're headed here on your visit, let us know and we'll tell you exactly where to park and access the activities you're wanting to do including cool places to eat or visit along the trail.
Barton Springs Municipal Pool
Natural spring fed public outdoor pool right near downtown. No food or alcohol allowed, but water bottles ok. Really neat spot and a classic Austin experience.
Mount Bonnell
Short little hike up a few stairs to some of the coolest views in Austin of the river and Texas Hill Country.
South Congress Avenue
S. Congress Ave. runs from the Texas state capital in downtown Austin south towards the river. The section of Congress Avenue just south of the river is lined with tons of historic restaurants and shopping. A fun place to wander and enjoy views of the capital along with tons of Austin original vendors. This is where you get your souvenirs!
Bat Watching at Congress Bridge
Classic Austin experience watching the bats fly off to the sunset from under the Congress bridge in downtown Austin.
