Downtown Austin Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

A city street with a large domed building in the background, surrounded by trees and various vehicles.
A city skyline with a river and bridges.
A modern urban street with tall buildings, traffic lights, and a crosswalk.
A cityscape with modern skyscrapers, a pedestrian path, and a river.
A tree-lined urban street with parked cars and a building with a rainbow flag.

A business district by day and an entertainment hub by night, Downtown Austin never sleeps. The landmark Texas State Capitol overlooks it all.

With restaurants, shops, bars and museums all clustered together, exploring Downtown Austin is “as easy as pie”, as the saying goes in Texas. Food trucks sell Tex-Mex street food “as hot as a billy goat in a pepper patch” and the pulled pork at Stubb's Bar-B-Q is a hit. The Warehouse District attracts the weird and wonderful and the live music scene of Sixth Street never gets old. For something different, check out Rainey Street’s bungalow bars.
