What are the most essential Austin activities?

Things like perusing South Congress, visiting some murals, eating local food, and seeing the bats are the kinds of experiences that can best encompass Austin. If you’d like some more specific guidance, here's our suggestion for 48 hours in Austin.

What’s the nightlife like?

Austin is renowned as the live music capital of the world. This means that, whenever you visit, you won’t have to look far to find something you like. Hundreds of venues across the city have live jazz, pop, rock, indie--whatever your genre is--every night. You can look up what’s going on during the nights you’re in town (make sure to check our Instagram story for our favorite events) or just walk around an area like the Rainey Street District until you find something you like.

What is 6th Street?

Located in downtown Austin, 6th Street is a famed entertainment district known for a variety of things, but predominantly its nightlife. The street is split into three distinct enclaves--East 6th, West 6th, and Dirty 6th--and even has its own website to guide your experience

What are some things to do outdoors in Austin?

Whether you want to swim, hike, bike, or just lounge around in nature, Austin pretty much has what you need (and we’ve pretty much posted about it). Here are some of Austin’s best parks, swimming spots, and a bike tour.

What’s South Congress?

South Congress, fondly known as SoCo, is both a street and a cultural hub of Austin. Packed with restaurants, shops, and usually a combination of locals and tourists, it’s a go-to for anyone looking for shopping, food, or entertainment. Only the best businesses survive there, so you won’t be disappointed wherever you go, but here’s our idea of a perfect day on South Congress.

Is Austin dog friendly?

Austin is probably one of the most pet-friendly cities you can visit. Many hotels allow pets, you won’t struggle to find a restaurant with a patio, and several of the city’s main attractions involve walking, making it the perfect place to bring your dog! And if you want to be extra nice to your canine companion, here are 30 dog treat recipes, just because.

What does “Keep Austin Weird” mean?

Now essentially the city’s motto, this phrase was actually coined by the Austin Independent Business Alliance. It’s meant to promote the support of local businesses such as food trucks and is largely responsible for the funky, eclectic vibe of the city.

When are the best times to visit?

One of Austin’s biggest attractions are the Congress Bridge bats, and the prime time to catch a glimpse of them is between late March and early fall. That said, if you’re not accustomed to Texas heat, I’d recommend visiting during the beginning or end of that window. In both the spring and fall, Austin can be pretty nice, but summers can be overwhelming for those unused to hot weather. This is especially true if you plan to visit some of Austin's many outdoor attractions.

What do I need to know about Austin City Limits?

ACL is a music festival held annually in Zilker Park. It takes place over two three-day weekends and features a diverse lineup. Here’s everything you need to know
