5 Things You Must Do in Austin

Austin Car Rental

Austin, Texas promotes itself as the live music capital of the world, so pack your earplugs if you want a quiet trip or throw them away and really enjoy the beat.

1. Visit the local businesses- Another town slogan is ‘Keep Austin Weird’ referring not so much to the antics of the locals as the desire to keep the town unique and resist over commercialization. So support the small businesses while you are there. Kevin’s Cookie and Deli for instance with butterscotch and pecan cookies you can order on line.

2. Lunch at Pita Healthy on Guadaloupe St, where they prove that healthy eating is also great food. And for the novice they even give instructions on how to eat a pita!

3. Volleyball- If you’ve never done it before try volley ball on one of the dozens of courts. And if you have tried before try again

4. Great Music- For live music events look in the Austin Chronicle every Thursday for listings or go to any of the following www.unlockaustin.com, www.conexionrockera.org and www.do512.com

5. Take the Tour- If you can get a ticket ( they are hard to get hold of)  go on the Austin City Limits Tour on the University of Texas , Austin Campus . The tour includes a visit to studio 6-A at station KLRU and a visit to the Hall of Fame which features pictures of the many artists who have appeared over time.
