We went here on our first trip to Austin. If you love history, this is the place for you. You will get a full history lesson on the Republic of Texas, and the capitol building is just a four minute walk to the University of Texas at Austin (horns down and gig 'em).
Sixth street is the heart of entertainment in Austin. For great food, shows and culture, it is a must-see sight of the city. Rainey Street is also a wonderful spot for night life.
