In our opinions, this is the best way to get a view of the city. This 10 mile trail in the heart of the city meanders along the water's edge and passes by skyscrapers, neighborhoods, ballfields and cultural attractions. One of our favorite things to do is walk the trail on Sunday mornings and grab coffee right off the trail at the Starbucks inside the Hyatt Regency. If you decide to walk the trail you don't have to walk all 10 miles but be sure to wear your comfy walking shoes and watch out for the bikers!
Grab your picnic blanket, some snacks and enjoy the Austin skyline in this open metropolitan park downtown.
