4 days in Austin Itinerary

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

Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Kyle Field and Blue Bell Creameries. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Austin: San Antonio (Natural Bridge Caverns, The Alamo, & more). The adventure continues: ponder the world of politics at Texas State Capitol, admire the landmark architecture of The Driskill, hike along Lady Bird Lake Hike-and-Bike Trail, and get engrossed in the history at Bullock Texas State History Museum.
