Things To Do
Congress Bridge Bats
We LOVE the Congress Bat Bridge. If you get the chance to do anything here in Austin, make sure this is on the list. The bats fly at dusk every night - make sure you plan accordingly!
Barton Springs Municipal Pool
We spend a lot of time here on the weekends. Gorgeous pool with amazing city views and an incredible salamander preserve!
Franklin Barbecue
Rumored to be some of the best BBQ in the world (just google Aaron Franklin). Be warned & plan ahead - the line is often hours long. Fun fact - since opening in 2009 they have sold out of their brisket every day!
Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center
INCREDIBLE gardens that are perfect for strolling. An excellent morning activity before the heat gets too intense! Make sure you climb the tower! The views are worth it!
Voodoo Doughnut V
Some of the best doughnuts around served ATX - style. Try the ODB or the original Voodoo!
Gourdough's Public House
Every item on this menu comes with a piping hot doughnut. Sometimes savory, sometimes sweet - you cannot miss this place.
South Austin Sno — serving local snow cones + shaved ice since 2005!
Anna's favorite place in the world.
Ramen Tatsu-Ya
Our favorite restaurant in the world - where we got our engagement photos taken! Trust us - you need to try this place! Grab a drink and wait in line - you won't regret it!
Driftwood Estate Winery
Some of the best views (and wine) in Texas.
Austin Paddle Shack
Paddle right through the city!
Garage
A parking garage turned bar - one of Austin's speakeasys that serve the greatest cocktails.
Bullock Texas State History Museum
Texas history! A great museum if you have a few hours.
The Contemporary Austin - Jones Center
A gorgeous museum downtown ATX!
The Continental Club
Austin is the live music capital of the world (no really, it is) and this place has some of the greatest live music available.
C-Boy's Heart & Soul
Ask to be led to the upstairs club and keep an eye out for your favorite musicians. Awesome soul music and a great vibe!
Rainey Street Historic District
Renovated houses turned into bungalow bars reign supreme on this increasingly popular tucked-away street.
