Welcome to Austin, Texas!

Known for its casual and playful nature, Austin is the playground of Texas. Situated at the center of the Lone Star State, it stands as the gateway to the Texas Hill Country and the Highland Lakes. As the state capital and home to the University of Texas, the city supports a politically charged and culturally rich environment. It's hip, trendy, and high-tech. A large creative population, primarily musicians and artists, enhance its eclectic nature.

Music echoes from just about every street corner in the city known as "The Live Music Capital of the World." The dining options range from haute cuisine at an array of trendy new restaurants to the best Tex-Mex and barbecue that you'll find anywhere. And, don't forget about the 1.5 million Mexican free-tail bats that hang out beneath the Congress Avenue Bridge from April through October. Only in Austin!
