5 days in Austin Itinerary

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

Step off the beaten path and head to Sweet Berry Farm and Stand-Up Paddleboarding. Change things up with a short trip to Longhorn Cavern State Park in Burnet (about 1h 5 min away). The adventure continues: learn the secrets of beer at Bike and Brew ATX, see the sights as you ascend with a climbing tour, stroll the grounds of Texas State Cemetery, and stroll around Mayfield Park.
