Activities in Austin
Austin is a wonderful place to be for anyone who loves the outdoors! In fact, Austin is home to one of the most famous parks in Texas, Zilker Park. Zilker Park is perfect for a chill day with your dog and friends, or for going to see theatrical shows or live music concerts. Zilker really offers everything while also being stunning and central to Austin culture. Also famous is Barton Springs, a natural spring, also Downtown, which is a fun day time activity to cool off, get to swim, and see beautiful scenery. Paddle boarding on Lady Bird Lake is another honorable mention.
Shopping
Another great way to experience the city if you aren't exactly the outdoorsy type is to go downtown and visit the shopping centers and vintage shops. If you enjoy second hand shopping, places like Buffalo Exchange, Flamingos Vintage Pound, and Treasure City Thrift will offer you unique finds and a quirky environment that captures the essence of Austin!
