Austin: It's all about blue skies and sunshine, the great outdoors, music and fun! The beautiful Colorado River winds through downtown, bringing walkers, runners and bicyclists to the trails along its banks. As a counterpoint to the warm weather, swimmers enjoy the cold water of Barton Springs, a spring fed pool in heart of Zilker Park.
Natural and casual, Austin offers a wide array of outdoor activities, musical evenings, and dining and cultural experiences. You will love Austin's lifestyle!
“Some say Austin marches to the beat of a different drummer. We’re convinced the city broke off long ago to start its own band.” Austin’s greatest appeal lies in its ability to balance its trendy scene with an inclusive attitude. The cowboy, the politician, the punk rocker, and the soccer mom all groove at the same music clubs and palm tortillas at the same Tex-Mex joints. No matter who you are, you’ll fit in. Snugly.” – Southern Living magazine, April 2007..
