Things To Do
Rainey Street Historic District
An adorable, neighborhood-y street, with craftsman houses that are actually bars, string-light covered patios, food trucks, craft cocktails, and a constant stream of both locals and non-locals looking to party
Graffiti Park at Castle Hill
Austin Graffiti Park is a colorful blast! Occupying the remains of an old building foundation, the 3 story graffiti art park is the largest in the nation, and brings tourist, renowned artist and local taggers together to make their mark and appreciate an ever-changing canvas. Note it's BYOB (Bring your own paint!)
South Congress Avenue
This vibrant neighborhood south of Lady Bird Lake is a must-stroll for visitors and a popular hangout for locals. South Congress oozes homespun character and boasts the story of Austin’s yesteryear in its boutiques, eateries, galleries and music venues.
BBQ in Austin
Doesn't matter where. Just do it. Trust us. Franklin's is the most iconic spot in Austin, but it will require you to wait in line for 3 plus hours. Iron works, Rudy's, Stubbs, Coopers are all great options too.
East 6th Street
World famous Sixth Street, (6th Street) in downtown Austin, is known for its bars and live music. Although it’s a cliché to say so, no visit to Austin is complete without at least a brief tour of this famous street. Forewarning.. the street gets blocked off at night because it gets so crazy so plan to uber closeby and walk or else go during the daytime.
