BEST PLACES TO VISIT WHILE IN AUSTIN, TEXAS
AUSTIN IS KNOWN AS THE MUSIC CAPITAL OF THE WORLD AUSTIN OFFERS SO MUCH TO DO WITH ITS WORLD FAMOUS FESTIVALS AND VARIOUS MUSIC VENUES OF ALL GENRES. IT HAS MORE THAN 30 MILLIONS DOMESTIC VISITORS COME TO AUSTIN ANNUALLY. ALONG WITH ITS GREAT MUSIC IT OFFERS OUTSTANDING FOOD. BELOW I SUGGEST SOME OF THE BEST THINGS TO DO WHILE ON A VISIT TO AUSTIN:
BARTON SPRINGS:
LOCATED AT 2201 WILLIAM BARTON DRIVE IS THE FAMOUS SWIMMING POOL HERE IN AUSTIN. ITS A GREAT PLACE TO SPEND THE DAY OUTSIDE WITH FRIENDS OR FAMILY. MAKE SURE TO BRING SOME FOOD, BRING A TOWEL, AND HAVE A CHILL DAY BY THE WATER. THE WATER IS WARM PRETTY MUCH YEAR ROUND AND IS A GORGEOUS BLUE. PEOPLE OFTEN KAYAK NEAR BY AND THERE IS EVEN A PLACE TO RENT THEM IF YOU WANT TO KAYAK OR PADDLE BOARD. THERE ARE ALSO MANY PARKS AND WALKING TRAILS ALONG THE WATER IN THIS AREA. THIS IS THE PERFECT ADVENTURE FOR ANY VISIT WHILE IN AUSTIN. BE PREPARED TO PAY A FEE TO VISIT DURING CERTAIN TIMES OF THE YEAR.
RAINEY STREET:
TUCKED AWAY IN THE CORNER OF AUSTIN IS RAINEY STREET. A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE GO TO GRAB SOME FOOD&DRINKS AND ENJOY THE MUSIC AUSTIN HAS TO OFFER. THERE ARE MANY LOCAL RESTAURANTS AND BARS THAT OFFER UNIQUE ATTRACTIONS OR MUSIC VENUES AT EACH. ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLACES TO GO IS CONTAINER BAR. IT IS A BAR MADE OUT OF CARGO CONTAINERS AND IS SUPER FUN TO TRY. I ALSO LOVE TO WALK AROUND AND JUST ENJOY SEEING THE AREA. THIS TENDS TO BE A BETTER MORE LAID BACK ALTERNATIVE THAN SIXTH STREET.
AZUL ROOFTOP BAR:
LOCATED AT 310 E 5TH STREET INSIDE THE WESTIN AUSTIN DOWNTOWN HOTEL. AZUL ROOFTOP OFFERS AMAZING VIEWS OF THE CITY. THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT A GREAT PLACE TO GRAB A DRINK AND ENJOY THE SUNSET. I LOVED BEING ABLE TO SEE AUSTIN’S 360 SKYLINE. IT OFFERS A ROOFTOP SWIMMING POOL, FIRE PITS, AND FULL BAR.
ZILKER PARK:
LOCATED IN THE HEART OF THE CITY IS ANOTHER GREAT OPTION FOR A DAY WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY. IT IS A 351 ACRE PARK THAT FEATURES VARIOUS A NATURAL SPRING, WALKING TRAILS, DOG PARKS, AND PICNIC AREAS. MANY PEOPLE WORKOUT OUTDOORS, SPEND TIME WITH FAMILY, OR BRING THERE DOGS IN THIS AREA OF THE CITY, THERE IS LOTS OF ROOM FOR ACTIVITIES AND SPORTS.
AUSTIN IS AN AMAZING TRIP NO MATTER HOW YOU CHOOSE TO SPEND YOUR TIME. THE VIBE OF THIS CITY IS UNMATCHED. EVEN THOUGH IT IS IN THE HEART OF TEXAS, IT FEELS NOTHING LIKE THE WAY OLD COWBOYS AND FOOTBALL LOVERS DESCRIBE TEXAS. INSTEAD IT IS AN UPBEAT AND TRENDY PLACE TO EXPLORE UNIQUE FOOD AND MUSIC VENUES. IT HAS A MIX OF YOUNG AND VIBRANT CITY VIBES WITH A DASH OF COUNTRY STYLE. DON’T MISS OUT ON THESE PLACES WHEN YOU STOP IN AUSTIN, TEXAS.
HAPPY TRAVELS!
