About Austin

Austin is Texas’ creative and cultural heartbeat - a city where live music, lakes, and laid-back energy define the rhythm of daily life. Known as the “Live Music Capital of the World,” Austin hosts over 250 live venues and iconic festivals like SXSW and Austin City Limits. The city’s natural beauty shines at Lady Bird Lake and the Barton Springs Pool, both central to Austin’s outdoor lifestyle. Visitors can paddleboard through downtown or unwind over local coffee and tacos on South Congress.
