By admin | August 27, 2011
Rich in history and culture, bustling Austin has something for every visitor to enjoy during their stay. It is easy to imagine that the Texas state capitol may have a certain draw to the affluent; however, there is plenty for the average traveler to enjoy as well in their journey through this rich region.
No trip to Austin would be complete without visiting the Texas State Capitol. Built in 1888 of pink granite, the impressive structure soars 302 feet in the air and measures 14 feet higher than the nation’s capitol building. Admission is free for daily guided tours. The Texas Hill Country is rich with beauty at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. Visitors to the area may enjoy a dip in Barton Springs Pool, a consistent 68-degree, artesian spring-fed pool in Zilker Park. The Lady Bird Hike and Bike Trail is a popular choice as well as this 10.1-mile path borders the lake winding towards and through downtown Austin.
Many other attractions await visitors at a reasonable or free cost and make this city a great choice for families wishing to fully experience the elaborate history of the region. Austin truly offers something for everyone at any budget.More info here: Austin Weekend Happenings
