Downtown Austin showing an administrative building and street scenes

Downtown Austin

City centre Austin pulses with the beat of live music and energetic crowds. Sixth Street buzzes with bars and clubs where you can catch local bands any night of the week. The towering State Capitol and historic Paramount Theatre anchor the city's cultural scene, while Lady Bird Lake offers a peaceful escape with scenic trails and paddleboarding opportunities. Hotels range from sleek high-rises to boutique spots in restored buildings, with most attractions just a short walk away. The area is incredibly walkable, with plenty of ride-sharing options and bike rentals for exploring beyond the city centre core. Food trucks and upscale restaurants alike serve authentic Texan flavours between music venues.

South Congress Avenue featuring outdoor art

South Congress

South Congress buzzes with Austin's creative heartbeat, packed with quirky boutiques and music venues that'll make your Instagram followers jealous. The iconic "I Love You So Much" mural practically begs for your selfie, while local artists and musicians create the soundtrack to your wandering. Lady Bird Lake offers a peaceful escape when the vibrant street scene gets too loud. Fuel your adventures at food trucks serving legendary breakfast tacos or splurge on farm-to-table Tex-Mex with the locals. Most spots in this walkable area sit within a 6-block radius, making car-free exploration a breeze. When night falls, hop between live music venues and craft cocktail bars until 2am.

Austin, Texas

Central East Austin

Central East Austin blends history and hipness with its vibrant cultural scene. The George Washington Carver Museum celebrates Black heritage while Victory Grill serves up legendary live music. Colourful murals splash across converted warehouses, and food trucks dish out mouthwatering tacos next to craft breweries and art galleries. This area offers authentic experiences with easy city centre access. Boutique hotels and renovated homes provide stylish places to stay, while the MetroRail Red Line and bike lanes make getting around a breeze. Weekend markets showcase local artists and musicians who keep Austin's creative spirit alive.

Zilker

Zilker delivers a double dose of Austin's famous outdoor magic and creative spirit. This leafy escape revolves around its massive 351-acre park, where locals splash in the always-perfect 68° waters of Barton Springs Pool. The area hosts major events like Austin City Limits Music Festival while beautiful trails wind along Lady Bird Lake. The Umlauf Sculpture Garden adds a touch of artistic charm to your nature fix. Tree-lined streets showcase a mix of charming bungalows and modern homes where holiday rentals are your best bet for accommodation. Getting around is easiest by bike or rideshare since public transit is limited. When hunger strikes, grab breakfast tacos from food trucks near the park or take a short walk to South Lamar for more dining options.

default

The Domain

The Domain is Austin's upscale playground where sleek glass towers house designer boutiques and tech giants like Amazon and Facebook. You'll find luxury shopping at Louis Vuitton and Neiman Marcus alongside a surprisingly good live music scene. The Museum of Ice Cream offers a quirky break between splurges, while outdoor plazas create perfect people-watching spots. Restaurants serve a range of dishes, from craft cocktails to contemporary American cuisine, on stylish patios. While hotels offer modern luxury, the area lacks Austin's signature weirdness. Getting around is easy within the development, but you'll need a car or ride-share to explore the rest of the city.
