Austin Attractions

Even with events like SXSW and Austin City Limits bringing regular name recognition to this Texas capitol, it’s the unique neighborhoods and small businesses that “Keep Austin Weird.” From the quirky Rainey Street to the rowdy Sixth Street, there’s plenty to see after dark, and after eating some of the city’s famed barbecue. Summer can get hot -- but outdoor activities like taking a dip in the natural-spring-fed Barton Springs Pool (three acres in size!) or in one of the area’s many lakes will soon cool you off.
