Giorno 1 ad Austin
Con solo 2 giorni ad Austin, non c’è tempo da perdere! Il primo giorno, ci concentreremo sulla storia e sulla cultura della città durante il giorno prima di indulgere nei mondi culinari e notturni.
Mattina
Non riesco a pensare a un modo migliore per dare il via a un fine settimana ad Austin che con i tacos per la colazione. Questa è una città ossessionata dai tacos per la colazione e perché non dovrebbero essere?
Tex-Mex è il re qui, con un normale taco per la colazione composto da una tortilla di farina ripiena di uova strapazzate, pancetta croccante, formaggio fuso e patate condite. Naturalmente, ogni luogo ha anche i suoi tacos speciali.
Ci sono un milione e un posto per fare tacos per la colazione ad Austin, ma alcune delle migliori scelte includono Cisco’s, Joe’s Bakery e Al Pastor di Rosita. Valentina è un po ‘un’escursione, ma ne vale la pena, in quanto sono in genere classificati al meglio della città.
Per un’introduzione divertente e informativa alla città, ti consiglio di saltare in un tour a piedi gratuito. Un’opzione popolare è l’escursione a piedi del centro di Tipster. Questi corrono quotidianamente alle 10 e durano circa due ore, a partire dal capitale dello stato.
Come per tutti i tour a piedi gratuiti, è consuetudine lasciare un’idea se ti diverti nel tour. Puoi solo mostrarti se vuoi o fare clic qui per far loro sapere che stai arrivando e quanto sono molto nel tuo gruppo.
Un’altra opzione è quella di dirigersi al Campidoglio e unirsi a uno dei loro tour gratuiti. Questi iniziano ogni 30-45 minuti dalle 9:30-3: 30 di sabato e 12-3: 30 di domenica.
Anche se non hai voglia di fare alcun tipo di tour, devi comunque dare un’occhiata al Campidoglio. È vero che tutto è più grande in Texas: il Campidoglio è più grande di quello nazionale in DC!
Mentre sei qui, potresti anche dare un’occhiata anche alla dimora del governatore. Dovrai prenotare il tuo posto almeno una settimana in sviluppo per prendere una delle escursioni gratuite qui, quindi fai clic qui per iscriverti.
Vuoi coprire facilmente tutto quanto sopra con una guida amichevole e competente, viaggiando con i trasporti climatizzati e godendo di uno spuntino per camion di cibo?! Questa escursione dura solo 2 ore e $ 35, indicando che hai ancora un sacco di tempo da trascorrere esplorando tutte le cose divertenti da fare ad Austin.
Pomeriggio
Dopo aver esplorato i terreni del Campidoglio, un comodo pranzo è il Texas Chili Parlour. Non sorprende che siano conosciuti per il loro peperoncino qui. Prova XXX se osi! Hanno anche molte gustose opzioni Tex-Mex come Tamales e Enchiladas.
Come ho sottolineato prima, c’è assolutamente un po ‘di spazio per l’improvvisazione quando esplora Austin in 2 giorni. Il modo in cui scegli di trascorrere il pomeriggio dipende completamente dai tuoi interessi, quindi lascia che ti dia alcune opzioni.
Prima di tutto, puoi dare un’occhiata ad alcuni musei, al campus di UT e alla Biblioteca presidenziale LBJ (Lyndon Baines Johnson). A pochi isolati a nord del Campidoglio si trova il Bullock Texas State History Museum.
Con mostre interattive, film e un fantastico teatro IMAX, questo è un buon posto per imparare tutto su Lone Star State. I biglietti per il museo costano $ 13 and you can save time if you click here to book your tickets online.
Right across the street, you’ll find the Blanton museum of Art. It’s popular for Austin – a stone building with colored windows created by distinguished artist Ellsworth Kelly.
Seeing that alone is worth the $12 price of admission, and there are 20,000 other artworks you can check out as well.
Perhaps you’re not really into museums and would rather spend a lot more time outside. in that case, head straight to the university of Texas campus. It’s a stunning place to explore, full of art and historical landmarks.
One thing you won’t want to miss is The color Inside. This Skyspace from artist James Turrell is best checked out at sunset and is quite popular, so be sure to book your spot well in advance.

Serata
After a big day of sightseeing, it’s time to transition into Austin’s popular nightlife. In this city full of college students and musicians, there’s no shortage of places to wet your whistle.
There are bars of all shapes, sizes, and styles in the Texas capital!
I recommend just heading to 6th street for a stroll to see what catches your eye. You won’t find lots of delighted hours on a weekend in Austin, but you can catch live music just about everywhere.
One place that’s absolutely worth checking out is the Firehouse Lounge. It’s located just off 6th Street in an old fire station. find the secret entrance to this amazing speakeasy and take pleasure in Prohibition-era cocktails with live jazz and blues.
When spending 2 days in Austin, one simply need to eat barbecue. This culinary art form is an crucial part of the culture here, and locals are pleased of their legendary barbecue.
I haven’t spent enough time in Austin to try and proclaim what the best BBQ in town is. What I can say is that I thoroughly took pleasure in our meal at the popular Stubb’s. They normally have live music here as well, so it’s a one-stop-shop for a fun evening in Austin.
Other popular places to get your BBQ fix downtown include Cooper’s Old-Time Pit Barbecue, Iron Works, and Gebby’s. If you want to try the legendary beef brisket at Franklin Barbecue, you’ll have to get up early and wait in a long line. But, it’s worth it!
No matter when you check out for a weekend in Austin, there’s sure to be tons of live music going on. Whether you’re into rock, funk, jazz, bluegrass, hip hop, electronic, or just about any other style of music, there’s a place for you in Austin.
I recommend checking out this calendar of events in the city to better help you plan where you want to spend your time and money. The last thing you want to do is wait in line and pay a cover charge only to end up in a place where you hate the music!
Giorno 2 ad Austin
Now that you’ve checked off lots of of the big sights, it’s time for some additionally exploration outside of Austin’s downtown area. I’ll give you some solid options for the end of this weekend in Austin.
But first, brunch.
Mattina
You might be feeling a little rough around the edges after a big night out in Austin. That’s why we’re starting day two out with a leisurely brunch.
My recommendation goes to the area just south of the river known as SoCo (South Congress). Within a few blocks, you’ll find some of the city’s best brunch spots.
A classic choice is the South Congress Cafe. try their popular short rib hash or eggs benedict with crab cakes. If you need a little hair of the dog, champagne bottles are 10% off on the weekend. get those mimosas flowing!
Other exceptional options in the area include cafe No Se, June’s, and Magnolia Cafe. wherever you eat, get ready for a little stroll around the area in search of street art and boutique shops.
Head up to Jo’s Coffee, where you can snap a photo with the “I love You So Much” wall. walk a block south to check out one of my personal favorites, the “Willie For President” mural.
You can also get hold of some chalk and scribble a message on the nearby before I die Wall. write something that’s on your bucket-list then get to work checking it off!
While you’re in the area, make sure to see the Greetings From Austin mural. Go ahead and get your needed shot for the ‘gram with this famous mural. show everyone just how much fun you’re having with your 2 days in Austin!
Down in SoCo you’ll also find plenty of great cafes, galleries, and boutiques.
It’s absolutely an area you can linger for a while. We’ve still got a lot of ground to cover on this Austin itinerary, though, so let’s keep it moving.

Enjoying the terrific outdoors is a need to when traveling to Austin. Thankfully you don’t have to go very far to do so! here are a few different options for spending an afternoon outside:
Zilker Metropolitan Park – This substantial city park is the best place to go on a stunning day in Austin. here you can choose a stroll along one of the trails or just take a dip in the Barton Springs Pool.
The park is also home to a really great botanical garden. It only costs $3 to visit, so you might as well choose it. same for the Umlauf Sculpture garden and Museum, which at $3.50 is a total steal for all the fantastic sculptures you get to see.
Fun in the Water – You can also take in the sights from the water in a rented kayak, canoe, or SUP (stand-up paddleboard). If you’re in a lot more of a “sit back, kick back and drink beer” state of mind, choose some good old fashioned tubing down the river! learn a lot more about that here.

Serata
If your weekend in Austin happens between March and November, you have to see the bats on your last evening in town.
About half an hour before sunset, over a million bats fly out from crevices in the bridge!
You can find a spot on the hill below the bridge to take in the spectacle or sign up for a excursion to see them from a kayak or SUP. Austin even has an annual Bat Fest in August. I told you their slogan was “Keep Austin Weird!”
Learn a lot more about the excursions with bats flying above — on a kayak, SUP tour, or segway tour.
