Music to My Ears (and Probably Your Neighbor's Too)
Austin's music scene is legendary. From dive bars with up-and-coming acts to iconic venues like Sixth Street, you're guaranteed to find a band that tickles your audio fancy. Pro-tip: Wear comfortable shoes because you'll be two-stepping 'til the cows come home (or in this case, breakfast tacos appear).
Subheading: Embrace the Eclectic
QuickTip: Pause when something feels important.
Don't limit yourself to just one genre. Austin's musical gumbo has a flavor for everyone, from pounding EDM to soulful blues. You might even stumble upon a kazoo orchestra, who knows?
Chill Out (Literally and Figuratively)
Austin gets hot, y'all. Really hot. But fear not, there are a plethora of ways to cool your jets.
Subheading: Take a Dip
Tip: Check back if you skimmed too fast.
- Barton Springs Pool: Think giant, spring-fed swimming pool in the heart of the city. Basically, an Instagrammer's paradise (just try not to get knocked over by a rogue floaties).
- Lady Bird Lake: Rent a kayak, paddle around, and pretend you're Lewis and Clark exploring the urban wilderness (minus the dysentery, hopefully).
Subheading: Seek Refuge in Air Conditioning
Museums! Austin has a museum for everything, from presidential libraries (LBJ, lookin' at you) to the quirky Museum of the Weird (because let's face it, we all have a little weird in us).

Subheading: Beyond the Breakfast Taco
