Green-studded branches fence calm waters. Austin’s stunning skyline shoots up into an open sky. And as I look up, I know this moment is different. On a boat, it’s even easier to fall in love with this landscape.
No motorized vehicles ( above five horsepower) are allowed here ( a rule that makes Lady Bird Lake all the more peaceful and meditative). The gaps are filled by birds singing and leaves rustling. You’ll see throngs of paddleboarders and rowers and joggers and cyclists move along the scenery. It’s a strange juxtaposition ( and in a way, it’s Austin in a nutshell). So instead, I look straight ahead at Lady Bird Lake. Storm-colored buildings and cranes blister an open sky. If I look up, I worry this moment will be different. Soft ripples stretch from one bank to the other. The waters here are bright and teal under the sun. Without further ado, here’s our ultimate guide to things to do in Austin, Texas!Īustin has many reservoirs, some big, some small. And this list of forty things to do in Austin is just a sampling of the top attractions in the Live Music Capital Of The World. There are so many things to do in Austin, it’s impossible to take in the whole city in one day ( we’ve tried). And as you drive around the city, you’ll see street art and murals, tall trees, greens and blues of rivers and lakes, and old buildings facelifted into quirky new businesses. It’s the kind of place where the weekend lines for a local record shop can be longer than the ones for Sunday brunch. Naturally, the city is a magnet for art and music lovers. Austin fundamentally doesn’t limit expression ( in any form). Austin is stubborn in its quirkiness.Īnd I’m not even referring to the Cathedral Of Junk ( which is exactly what you think it is) or Hippie Hollow ( a clothing-optional beach). As a Texas resident ( who visits Austin way too often on the weekends), I’ve watched the city slowly change over the years.
It’s a place of anomalies – a big Texas metropolis that’s also leafy and colorful and youthful and vibrant.
