5 days in Austin Itinerary

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

Get out of town with these interesting Austin side-trips: Barn Pottery (in New Braunfels) and San Antonio (Natural Bridge Caverns, Mission San Jose, &more). There's still lots to do: admire the striking features of Texas State Capitol, get engrossed in the history at Bullock Texas State History Museum, deepen your understanding at University of Texas at Austin, and contemplate the long history of The Driskill.
