Outdoor fun

Lots of people know Barton Springs for the fresh cold spring fed pool but not as many know Deep Eddy. The only difference is a solid bottom vs Barton Springs Natural bottom. Make sure you grab some Jim Jims on the way out!

We love this place! Very hard to park but get dropped off or come early and see the dogs running and round and feel like you are on an island in the middle of nowhere not the middle of Austin. Maybe stop by Hula Hut for a Margarita after or Mozarts for some coffee.

A scenic run or walk around Austin will take you past some iconic statues, Barton springs pool, nature centers, Zilker Park, and to some cool places to rent a kayak or canoe! Please do not take any scooters on the trail, its against the law & dangerous for everyone.

Sightseeing

Most people know this for the famous "Welcome to Austin" Mural but the building itself is home to the artist, Todd Sanders who owns Road House Relics. He has done custom work for the likes of Willy Nelson and Sandra Bullock and is nationally known for his work and shows in famous New York galleries. Go inside and say hello and grab one of his awesome designs via a t-shirt for a good souvenir.

This looks like a mini ethnic grocery store but it secretly serves the best Chicken Shawarma out there and for super cheap! Get it while its hot, check to make sure they are open before you go. Mostly open on weekdays.

旅行者へのアドバイス

必要な持ち物

Its generally pretty warm here in Texas

Even if its dead winter, check the weather before you come and make sure you have layers incase a 32 degree morning goes to an 80 degree sunny day. Texas weather can change quickly! Always pack a swim suit, you never know!
風習と文化

This is a pretty informal place

A lot of businesses and restaurants here are pretty casual. We like to dress up sometimes for special occasions but generally people are pretty laid back.
節約術

HEB is your friend

If your staying in an air bnb with a kitchen grab a few light groceries and snacks from local Texas grocery chain and make a dinner with your crew one night.
交通アクセス

Texas loves their cars

Lots of people drive here, lucky for you then you don't have to! Its easy to get a Lyft to and from central and surround areas. We also have many other forms of transportation in Austin including rental scooters, bikes, buses. We do have a train but its not probably not going anywhere you are looking to go. However, there is an Amtrak stop in Austin if you prefer taking scenic routes around Texas. We do recommend a rental car if exploring other areas of Texas while here. There are many cool day trips you can take from Austin like floating the shortest river in the world in New Braunfels or seeing the Alamo in San Antonio.
風習と文化

Wear your cowboy boots if you go two stepping

Its easier to dance, and the locals take you more seriously. If you want to fill up your dance card, wear your boots!
必見

The Brew

Austin's beloved Salsa and Jazz band. They play beautiful latin grooves and have a loyal following of Salsa dancers. Look them up in advance and see if they are preforming anywhere during your visit for a fun night out!
