Texas contains natural springs, waterfalls, sand dunes and historic sites. The terrain changes from desert to swampland. The state features mining towns, military forts, Japanese gardens and prehistoric locations. Visitors can explore underwater caves, limestone cliffs, and salt marshes. The area includes Native American quarries, Spanish missions, and 19th-century plantations.
Austin bears no resemblance to any other Texas city. Here, music escapes from bars before dusk, food trucks mingle with concert halls, and parks stretch to the Colorado River. As Texas's capital and self-proclaimed live music capital, the city brings together students, artists, and travelers seeking that unique energy found only here. Between its museums, natural swimming pools, and vibrant neighborhoods, Austin is explored on foot, by bike, or to the sound of a guitar. From Zilker Park to the Capitol, from South Congress to East Sixth Street, each place tells a part of this free and inventive local culture. A city apart, balancing nature, creativity, and the simple pleasure of outdoor living.
