6 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 Rainey Street. Do your shopping at Harry Ransom Center and The Blanton Museum of Art. Popular historic sites such as Texas State Capitol and St. Mary's Cathedral are in your itinerary. Get out of town with these interesting Austin side-trips: Johnson City (LBJ Texas White House & Pedernales Falls State Park), Jacob's Well Natural Area (in Wimberley) and Hamilton Pool Preserve (in Dripping Springs). The adventure continues: take an in-depth tour of LBJ Presidential Library, explore the world behind art at Umlauf Sculpture Garden & Museum, glide peacefully along the water with some of the best stand-up paddleboarding in the area, and stroll through Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center.
