2 days in Austin Itinerary

Despite its laid-back college vibe, Austin is an influential center for politics, technology, film, and music.

Kick off your visit on the 17th (Sat): grab your bike and head to Barton Creek Greenbelt, contemplate the waterfront views at Town Lake, then sample some tasty brews at Bike and Brew ATX, and finally shop like a local with Rainey Street. On your second day here, explore the activities along Lake Marble Falls, relax and rejuvenate at some of the best spas, indulge your thirst for a good beer at Save The World Brewing Co, then learn about winemaking at Spicewood Vineyards, and finally stop by Antonelli's Cheese Shop.
