About Austin
City overview
Austin sits on the Colorado River at the edge of the Texas Hill Country, with Downtown, South Congress, East Austin, Rainey Street, the University of Texas area, and Zilker shaping its music, politics, food, and swimming-hole culture. The Texas Capitol, live-music rooms, Lady Bird Lake trails, and Barton Springs make the city more outdoor-and-nightlife focused than most state capitals.
Food & drink
Austin food centers on Central Texas barbecue, Tex-Mex, breakfast tacos, queso, migas, kolaches, and food-truck patios. Franklin Barbecue, La Barbecue, Terry Black's, Veracruz All Natural, and the South Congress-East Austin food-truck clusters are the standard first route.
