Native Hostel

Native is a kinetic collision of music, the arts, warm beds, food and spirits, filled with adventurous travelers who are overnighting, as well as locals who come for the bar and live music. The sleeping arrangements are communal, and downstairs, you can mingle in the Native Bar & Kitchen, which hosts a happy hour and music acts that are worth staying awake for.

This elegant Victorian mansion, built in 1892, is a registered historic landmark in the City of Austin. Its modernized interior features a co-living space where you can stay for as long as you like. Take advantage of the two white wraparound porches, where you can sit and admire the city while sipping a Lone Star beer.

Firehouse Hostel

Just off 6th Street – Austin’s liveliest stretch for nightlife – is the very affordable Firehouse Hostel. Built in 1885, this former firehouse (as its name suggests) now serves as an updated hostel and lounge. It provides free breakfast, free wifi and various room options. Depending on how much you’re looking to pay, it offers rooms with both shared and private bathrooms, deluxe dorm-style accommodations and economy dorms.

Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in.

Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.

Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way.

Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.

Culture Trips are deeply immersive 5 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and 4-5* accommodation to look forward to at the end of each day.
