4 days in Austin Itinerary

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

Take a break from the city and head to Hamilton Pool Preserve and Barton Creek Greenbelt. Do your shopping at Rainey Street and The Domain. Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around Austin: Georgetown (On the Square & Grape Creek Vineyards Georgetown) and Fredericksburg (St. Mary's Catholic Church, Pioneer Museum, &more). The adventure continues: take in the exciting artwork at Harry Ransom Center, admire the landmark architecture of The Driskill, and take in the spiritual surroundings of St. Mary's Cathedral.
