Things To Do
The Domain
The Domain is a massive mixed-use development that serves as a vibrant hub for shopping, dining, and entertainment. It features luxury fashion stores, high-end restaurants, and unique activities, making it a premier destination in the city. Highly recommend taking a shopping day here!
Roya
Head to Roya for a taste of Persian cuisine while you're in Austin. This modern restaurant serves beautifully prepared kebabs, flavorful rice dishes, and other Persian favorites in an elegant setting. Whether you're trying Persian food for the first time or already love it, Roya is a wonderful place to enjoy a meal and experience a small piece of Persian culture.
Pedal Pub Austin
A Pedal Pub is a pedal-powered portable bar on wheels...need we say more? If you are traveling with a group and need a daytime activity, this is it. Expect a 2-hour joy ride that has 2-3 stops at breweries, bars, murals, and restaurants as you ride throughout the city of Austin. Sip, savor, and soak in the atmosphere!
Town Lake Trail / Zilker Park
Looking for a scenic way to experience Austin? The Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail (known locally as the Town Lake Trail) winds around Lady Bird Lake with beautiful waterfront views, downtown skyline photo opportunities, and easy access to Zilker Park. Start near Auditorium Shores and enjoy one of Austin's most beloved outdoor spaces.
Terry Black's Barbecue
No trip to Austin is complete without Texas barbecue. Terry Black's serves up slow-smoked brisket, ribs, sausage, and all the classic sides in a laid-back atmosphere that's become a favorite among locals and visitors alike.
McKinney Falls State Park
Looking to escape the city for a few hours? McKinney Falls State Park is a local favorite just outside downtown Austin. Hike scenic trails, spot wildlife, and explore the beautiful limestone waterfalls and swimming holes along Onion Creek. It's an easy way to experience a quieter side of Texas without venturing too far from the city.
Longhorn Cavern State Park
A little farther from Austin, but well worth the trip. Longhorn Cavern State Park offers guided tours through a stunning underground cave tucked beneath the Texas Hill Country. Cool temperatures, fascinating history, and impressive rock formations make for a memorable day away from the city.
