Most famously known for being the live music capital of the country, today’s Austin offers so much than that (don’t worry – there’s still plenty of live music). With activities ranging from kayaking in one of the many local bodies of water, brushing up on Texas history by visiting the multitude of museums, or sipping the day away on a tour of local Texas wineries – the experiences are limitless. Austin and the greater Austin area are home to thousands of must see attractions, venues, festivals and adventures. That’s why we’ve created a list of our favorite activity suggestions.
