Things to Do in Austin for an Unforgettable Experience

Austin should never be compared to Portland. Yes, each is a college town and a little full of themselves while beautiful in its own right. But the hippy-dippy nonsense that Portland is famous for can't exist in Texas. In Austin, a vegan may very well have a gun rack in their truck. Visiting Austin is an adventure and one that you should both look forward to ahead of your arrival and again when you have pledged to return.

01 Enjoy a night out on 6th Street

Formerly Pecan Street, Sixth Street is known as Dirty Sixth to locals. This nook of Downtown Austin has been a bustling entertainment district since the 1970s, and it's a significant factor in making Austin the world's live music capital. East Sixth Street hosts biker rallies, arts and craft markets, and many events during the famous South by Southwest festival. But it's a special place any time of year with a vibrant atmosphere, copious watering holes, and retail outlets.
