Austin is the capital of Texas, home of the University of Texas at Austin® and gateway to the beautiful Hill Country. As the Live Music Capital of the World®, the city has a soundtrack all its own. Hundreds of live music venues flourish with rock, indie, pop and Tejano. Top notch restaurants with legendary barbecue and farm-to-table cuisine whet your appetite. Shop in the one-of-a-kind boutiques that line our streets and neighborhoods, or head out to the Hill Country to relax in a world class destination spa. More than 300 days of sunshine lend itself to a refreshing dip in Barton Springs Pool or stand-up paddle boarding on Lady Bird Lake. Come experience it for yourself. www.visitaustin.org.
