Things To Do
BARTON SPRINGS POOL
Barton Springs Pool is a natural spring fed pool. We enjoy night swims here throughout the year (admission is free from 9PM-10PM). Dip your toes in or bring some goggles to see the wildlife below!
Lone Star Riverboat
Congress Bridge is home to the largest urban bat colony in the world (up to 1.5 million bats live under it!). We recommend booking a sunset tour through Lone Star Riverboat. They will take you on a pretty sunset cruise around Lady Bird Lake and then you get to watch all of the bats fly out from Congress bridge!
Jester King Brewery
Drive out to Dripping Springs (about 20 minutes outside of Austin) for some pretty views and our favorite beer!
Torchy's Tacos
Torchy's Tacos is a popular chain here in Texas. Lexi recommends the Fried Avocado taco and Justin recommends the Dirty Sanchez taco.
Austin Central Library, Austin Public Library
Here in Downtown Austin, we are lucky enough to have one of the most beautiful libraries in the U.S.! Head up to the rooftop for a gorgeous view of Lady Bird Lake, visit the gift shop, and stop by Cookbook for small bites and a drink.
Bouldin Creek Cafe
This is our favorite breakfast spot in all of Austin.
Polvo's Mexican Restaurant
Delicious and authentic Mexican food!
Gourdough's Big. Fat. Donuts.
This food truck is what dreams are made of. We always recommend Gourdough's for late night dessert!
Easy Tiger
Laid back local beer garden and bakery.
Mount Bonnell
Super easy hike (you just have to climb some stairs) with rewarding views of Austin and the Colorado River. Sunset is the best time to visit.
Tamale House East
Some of the best tacos in Austin!
Merit Coffee
Our favorite little coffee shop. Check out the food truck "Paperboy" right outside of this for a quick breakfast.
Whisler's
Cool cocktail bar in East Austin if you're looking to have a fun night out.
