Austin - Things to Do & Tourist Attractions

Austin has so many things to do and see it is difficult to sum them up into a few paragraphs. Some of the most well known sights are the Capitol and the Congress Avenue Bridge. The Capitol houses the branches of legislation and shows off some of the most beautiful architecture in the state. On any given day you can find hundreds of people exploring this fantastic building just minutes from Austin luxury hotels. The Congress Avenue Bridge spans the famous Town Lake where at dusk you can witness Mexican free-tail bats making their way out for the evening meal, like you can enjoy at your five star Austin hotel.

Another great thing to do is to visit Sixth Street. Just a short walk from Austin four star hotels is a place well known for its eclectic mix of bars, clubs and live music venues. Criss cross back and forth from one bar to the next, enjoying the comradery of other revelers and sampling different street fare before heading back to boutique hotels downtown Austin.

A short way from Austin 5 star hotel is the University of Texas. One of the other ways Austin is well known is for its college football team, but this campus also houses some of the best museums and libraries in the world. Visit the Harry Ransom Center and explore their varying exhibits or trek down the street a bit and step back into Texas history at the Bob Bullock State History Museum. This museum which is within blocks of Austin luxury hotels, brings to life the story of Texas from the beginning to the present while highlighting some of the most influential pieces from the history of Texas.
