5 days in Austin Itinerary

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

Visit St. Mary's Catholic Church and Pioneer Museum for their historical value. Step off the beaten path and head to Blue Bell Creameries and The Guenther House Museum. Venture out of the city with trips to Texcetera (in Johnson City), Becker Vineyards (Winery) (in Stonewall) and Fredericksburg (Fischer & Wieser's Das Peach Haus & National Museum of the Pacific War). The adventure continues: take an in-depth tour of Bullock Texas State History Museum, admire the striking features of Texas State Capitol, steep yourself in history at Mission San Jose, and explore the galleries of The Alamo.
