Austin, the capital city of Texas, is in some ways one of the least archetypically Texan of cities.
Known more for its lush music scene and burgeoning reputation for motion-picture production than for its ties to
the Old West, this eclectic and vibrant city attracts 17 million visitors every year.
Families visiting Austin will enjoy the cities lakes. Lake Austin is a popular recreation
destination, as is Lake Travis, home of Volente Beach Water Park. Both draw big numbers in the summer, though, so
visitors should be prepared for some crowds. Capital Cruise boat tours can be taken on Town Lake, which is right in
the middle of the city and offers great views of the Capital Building. For drier kid-friendly fun there’s always
Kiddie Acres, where little ones can enjoy a modest little theme park that won’t break the bank.
Art and culture is readily available in SoCo, the portion of South Congress Ave. dotted with unique
art galleries, stores and restaurants. There’s music and theater to be enjoyed in beautiful Zilker Park. The city
also has many interesting museums. The Austin Museum of Art is the place to go for contemporary art. The Mexic-Arte
Museum features rotating exhibitions by Mexican and Mexican-America artists. Natural Science buffs should
definitely check out the excellent Texas Memorial Museum.
Austin is home to the University of Texas. UT’s 50,000 students insure a lively bar and nightclub
scene for young people, most of which can be found on the stretch of Guadalupe St. known as the Drag. Texas
football fans will naturally want to catch a Longhorn’s game if they’re visiting during the season.
With more bars and nightclubs per capita than any city in the United Sates, Austin is well known
for its hip and varied nightlife. Oslo is a Scandinavian influenced nightclub that has become an Austin bastion of
cool. Cowboys and girls will want to mosey down to the legendary Broken Spoke for a little country-western
two-stepping. Azucar is the spot for those who would rather dance a salsa. Gay travelers won’t want to miss a trip
to Oilcan Harry’s in Austin’ warehouse district.
Austin calls itself the Live Music Capital of the World, and it this case it isn’t just typical
Texan hyperbole. Countless stars from every genre have emerged from its storied music scene, including Janis Joplin
Willie Nelson and Stevie Ray Vaughan. The distinctive flavor of its rock-n-roll, country, blues, rockabilly and
Latin music has made the city an American music Mecca.
No visit to Austin is complete without seeing at least one live music performance. Legendary venues
like Antone’s or Threadgill’s Restaurant are part of the cities music history, but great places to catch a show are
as common in Austin as cactus in the desert. Stubbs BBQ is always a solid choice for ribs and blues, but the
younger crowd may want to head over to UT’s campus institution, The Hole in the Wall bar. Rock and Punk aficionados
should drop in the Red Eye Fly on Red River St.
Austin City Limits is the longest running PBS series, and those lucky enough to get tickets are in
for a treat. The September festival of the same name is a can’t-miss opportunity. The South By Southwest Music
Festival is an enormous music industry event where record companies from across the country come to find the next
big thing. Hundreds of the area’s best bands play their hearts out for days on end. It’s an unforgettable
experience for music lovers, but the prices are high and the lines are long, so only die-hards need apply.
Being the capital city of the Lone Star State, Austin is also the fourth largest city in Texas and
the sixteenth largest in the United States. The sprawling city covers 258 square miles of the state and is home to
nearly 750,000 residents. Austin was incorporated in the 1830s and was named for Stephen F. Austin, who was
credited as being the father of Texas. Before being settled by the founders who would later incorporate the city,
the area in and around present day Austin was inhabited by several nomadic Native American tribes.
The geographical attributes of Austin are unique. The city is nestled on the banks of the Colorado
River. There are three man-made lakes surrounding the city, one of which is named for Lady Bird Johnson. The
eastern portion of the city is rather flat in comparison to the western portion of Austin, due to its close
proximity to the Balcones Fault on the edge of the famous Texas Hill Country. Mount Bonnell is located in this area
of Austin. Mount Bonnell is a limestone rock measuring 780 feet in height. Mount Bonnell has an observation deck
that overlooks Lake Austin.
Austin refers to itself as the Live Music Capital of The World. Many popular music venues located
along the city’s famous Sixth Street add credence to this motto. The popular concert television show Austin City
Limits was filmed at locations along Sixth Street and the area hosts several major music festivals each year. Some
of those festivals include South By Southwest (SXSW), The Austin City Limits Music Festival, and the Urban Music
Festival. Aside from the healthy music industry, Austin has also served as the backdrop for several major films,
including How To Eat Fried Worms, Dazed and Confused, and Miss Congeniality.
The second most visited attraction in Austin, after the Sixth Street district, is the Capitol
Building and Rotunda. Austin is also home to several museums, including cultural varieties such as at the Latin
Arts Museum and Mexic-Arte Museum. Other museums of note are the O. Henry House Museum and the Blanton Museum of
Art. On the quirkier side of culture, Austin is also famous for some rather infamous landmarks. The Terminix Bug,
Mangia dinosaur, and Loca Maria statute at a taco joint are just some of the oddities that Austin is known for.
Austin has received many accolades over the years, which attribute to the greatness of the city. In
2006, it was voted the Number 2 Best Big City in Best Places To Live by Money Magazine. That same year, Austin was
voted the “Greenest City In America” by MSN. Two Fortune 500 companies, Dell and Whole Foods Market, have
headquarters located in Austin. The technological advancement of the city has not gone unnoticed by some of the
tech industry’s key players. Austin continues to be a mecca for mainstream technological companies. Some of these
companies that have operations based in Austin are 3M, Apple Inc., Hewlett-Packard, eBay/PayPal, Intel, Samsung,
and Google. Rent a limo in Austin (TX)!
