Activity itinerary

Bull Creek District Park
  • 10m
One of the things that made Austin a prime candidate to become the capital of Texas was its place along the Colorado River. This allowed lush greenery to bloom in an otherwise harsh and challenging environment, and the park up ahead showcases exactly that. Note: This 19+ mile-long tour covers the essentials of Austin in 3-4 hours.
Pennybacker Bridge Overlook
  • 10m
Coming up in a minute is the Pennybacker Bridge Overlook, offering excellent views of the Colorado River and what locals simply refer to as the “360 Bridge.”
Wild Basin Preserve
  • 10m
This is Wild Basin Wilderness Preserve, home to over 200 acres of preserved wilderness and three miles of hiking trails. The preserve requires a small fee on weekends and holidays, but is free and totally open during weekdays.
Zilker Botanical Garden
  • 10m
Just ahead is the Zilker Botanical Garden, featuring 28 acres of local and exotic flora. Here you can see native succulents, prehistoric plants, and even a Japanese garden!
Barton Springs
  • 10m
This three-acre, spring-fed pool is a favourite swimming spot among locals, but it’s also much more than that! Here, you’ll also find a miniature train for kids and a community theatre that puts on free shows for the public.
Sonder The Hogg Palace
  • 10m
Today, it’s one of the trendiest addresses for offices in Austin, but its beginnings were much more humble. Can you guess what occupied this building over a century ago?
Paramount Theatre
  • 10m
See the big Paramount sign? That marks the historic Paramount Theatre, and it’s over 100 years old! This Austin landmark got its start in 1915, when architect John Eberson designed what was originally called The Majestic.
Angelina Eberly Statue
  • 10m
Here’s what happened: In 1842, Austin was technically the capital of Texas. But it was a frontier town, seemingly at risk of being seized by Mexico at any moment.
