Things To Do
Barton Springs Municipal Pool
Barton Springs is a must in Austin to beat the Texas heat. Entry to the springs is $5.00 - Cash and credit accepted.
Mozart's Coffee Roasters
Recreate our first date! Grab some coffee on the lake, maybe even a dessert, and then head next door to Hula Hut for some Hawaiian-inspired Tex-Mex. This place doesn't disappoint.
Bats Across Texas
Calling all Batmen! The Congress Avenue bridge is a bat cave. Starting in late March and continuing through early fall, North America's largest urban bat population calls Austin home. The bats begin to wake up and start their night flight around sunset. The first few bats begin to trickle out from under the bridge then. After the sun sets, the show really begins, and hundreds to thousands of bats pour out and cascade East over Lady Bird Lake. Come early to get your spot. It sounds weird, but it's a must do in Austin!
Ann and Roy Butler Hike and Bike Trail
You can find us walking or biking this trail on the regular. The trail is a 10 mile loop around downtown. You will always find people on the trail, even when it's over 100 degrees outside.
Torchy's Tacos
When in Austin, Torchy's is a must. The tacos do not disappoint. You can got to any location, but make sure you ask for the secret menu and top if off with the queso!! The queso is ranked as one the best in Austin.
Rainey Street Historic District
Rainey Street is one of the newer parts of Austin to be developed. Full of bars and restaurants, there is something for everyone. If you are into Indian Cuisine, G'Raj Mahal is by far our favorite in town. Bangers Sausage House and Beer Garden, Craft Pride, Javelina, and The Container Bar are some of our favorites!
Blanton Museum of Art
The Jack S. Blanton Museum of Art at the University of Texas at Austin is one of the largest university art museums in the U.S. Admission ranges from $5 to $9 and exhibits change throughout the year. It's a great way to escape the heat and see a different side to Austin.
Texas Capitol
Calling all history buffs!! Touring the Texas Capitol is popular for many people visiting Austin. Home to our second date, the Capitol is made of pink granite, and taller than the U.S. Capitol building. Make sure you whisper in the Rotunda because everything echos!
Austin Ghost Tours
Want to learn about the spookier side to Austin, urban legends, and Austin secrets? We recommend the Austin Haunted Ghost Tours. For $25.00 a person, you'll go on a 2.5-3 hour pub crawl tour of downtown Austin, stopping in bars along the way. We had a blast when we did this with friends and learned a few things too.
Mount Bonnell
Want some incredible views of Austin? We recommend a hike up Mount Bonnell. Mount Bonnell is the highest point in Austin and on the Eastern Bank of the Colorado River. Fun fact, in January 2018 - we went here as our first official date as boyfriend and girlfriend.
