Q: What are the top tourist attractions in Austin?

Texas State Capitol : Step inside to look up at the cavernous rotunda, peek into the House and Senate chambers, and wander the shady grounds dotted with statues. LBJ Presidential Library : Explore exhibits that put you face to face with the 1960s, from a full-size replica of the Oval Office to Civil Rights artefacts and recorded phone calls. Lady Bird Lake & Butler Trail : Walk or cycle the boardwalk with skyline views, then rent a kayak to glide past turtles and herons along the calm water. Barton Springs Pool : Cool off in a spring-fed, three-acre pool that holds a steady chill year-round, and watch locals practice laps on the grassy banks. Congress Avenue Bridge Bats : Gather at sunset to watch a cloud of Mexican free-tailed bats stream out from under the bridge, and feel the breeze as they fan overhead.

Question 2

Is Austin walkable?

Accepted Answer

Yes, within core areas. Downtown, the Capitol, Lady Bird Lake’s trail, and South Congress are walkable. Reaching Zilker Park, the East Side, and other districts usually means a ride.

CapMetro’s MetroRapid 801 and 803 connect North and South corridors and stop downtown, the Red Line train links Downtown with the Domain, and Route 20 runs to the airport. For hill country wineries, barbecue runs, or just a cooler day out, a private tour in Austin with private transportation is a comfortable choice.
