5 days in Austin Itinerary

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

Your day by day itinerary now includes Commons Ford Ranch, Japanese Tea Gardens, Mission Trail, and other attractions you added. Bring the kids along to Natural Bridge Caverns and Texas State Capitol. Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around Austin: Barn Pottery (in New Braunfels) and San Antonio (The Alamo, The San Antonio River Walk, &more). There's still lots to do: snap pictures at Congress Avenue Bridge / Austin Bats, get engrossed in the history at LBJ Presidential Library, tour the pleasant surroundings at Lady Bird Lake Hike-and-Bike Trail, and look for gifts at Waterloo Records.
