Despite being the fastest-growing city in the US, the Texas state capital has managed to preserve its offbeat spirit and live up to its “Keep Austin Weird” motto. With a vibrant creative community, flourishing independent businesses, underground venues and a thriving live music scene, the city has plenty to keep visitors happy and Austinites proud.

Austin’s musical heritage can be felt – and heard – on every corner, with venues ranging from two-stepping honky-tonks and rowdy rock’n’roll bars to jazz clubs and concert halls. The “Live Music Capital of the World” is gaining a reputation as one of America’s top foodie cities, too, not only for its world-famous barbecue but also inventive Mexican fare, top-notch sushi and a brunch scene to rival the Big Apple’s. Pair your meal with a beer from the new crop of craft breweries and you’ll be ready for a night out in one of America’s greatest party towns.

Introducing Austin

No matter when you choose to visit, Austin’s cultural calendar is always brimming. The city hosts major events year-round, including the US Grand Prix, South by Southwest and Austin City Limits Music Festival. Its many entertainment districts mean there’s always something fun to do, whether you’re learning the cotton-eyed joe at legendary Texan dance hall Broken Spoke or playing chicken shit bingo (yep, you read that right) at the Little Longhorn Saloon. 

Austin’s urban liveliness extends to its natural environment. Outdoor spaces buzz with activity, with Zilker Park offering volleyball, golf and even swimming at Barton Springs Pool. Architectural highlights include the sunset-red granite Texas State Capitol building, the fairytale-esque Bloom House and the opulent Driskill Hotel.
