Start with rooftop pool time and city views to get in the Austin mood. Walk to 6th Street for the legendary bar-hopping scene—every single venue has live music, and you can literally walk from blues to country to rock to electronic in a single block. Explore Rainey Street's converted bungalow bars for a more relaxed vibe with backyard patios and craft cocktails. Eat your way through breakfast tacos (multiple times), barbecue pilgrimages, and the increíble restaurant scene. Kayak or paddleboard on Lady Bird Lake with the downtown skyline as your backdrop. Catch a show at the Continental Club, Antone's, or Stubb's for legendary live music. Shop the boutiques and vintage stores on South Congress (SoCo) for Austin's famoso eclectic style. The Blanton Museum of Art offers cultura, and Barton Springs Pool provides natural swimming in 68-degree spring-fed water.

Tips de Sofía

Breakfast tacos are absolutely a religion here, and you should worship at multiple temples—Torchy's for creative options, Veracruz All Natural for the classics, and any food truck that has a line of locals. For barbecue, Franklin is legendary but the line often starts at 6am for lunch; try la Barbecue or Terry Black's for similar quality with less commitment. Rainey Street is better for groups who want to hop between venues without the sometimes-chaotic energy of 6th Street. South Congress (SoCo) is perfecto for daytime shopping, people-watching, and the famoso "I love you so much" mural. If you're there from March through November, catch the bats emerging from Congress Avenue Bridge at sunset—1.5 million Mexican free-tailed bats create a natural spectacle you have to see to believe. SXSW in March and ACL in October bring increíble music but also crowds, so plan accordingly. The heat in summer is serious; stay hydrated and embrace air conditioning. And always pack comfortable shoes—Austin rewards those who walk and explore.

Austin is where good times are the culture.
