The iconic 6th street is the best place to go if you're looking to go bar hopping or day shopping. 6th street is nicknamed dirty 6, but don't let that discourage you from visiting!

If you know me, you know I LOVE zoos! The Austin zoo is very unique in the fact that it is up in the hills and is a rescue zoo. You will be up close to animals like never before. Highly recommend :)
If you're into history, the Texas Capitol does a great tour for free!
After you've walked around 6th st or visited the Capitol, you'll want to stop for that texas staple, BBQ. Coopers has some of the best BBQ I've ever eaten! Make sure to try the brisket.
If you're not in the mood for BBQ and dont really know what you want, stop by the food truck park with a variety of different options. You'll be sure to find something you like at one of these food trucks! If you've never eaten at a food truck, its a must try!
