Things to Do in Austin (And How to Get Around)
From live music and lake days to world-class food and nightlife, Austin never runs out of things to do. Here is a quick local guide — and the easiest way to get your group around.
- Live music & festivals
- Lake Travis & outdoors
- Food & nightlife
- Hill Country day trips
The Austin essentials
Catch live music on Rainey Street and the Red River district, explore the food scene from barbecue to tacos, and soak up the outdoors at Zilker Park and Lady Bird Lake.
When the weather is right, a day on Lake Travis is hard to beat — and the Hill Country wineries around Fredericksburg and Dripping Springs make for an unforgettable day trip.
Getting around without the hassle
Parking downtown is tight, rideshare surges on busy nights, and splitting a big group across cars kills the vibe. A private van with a driver keeps everyone together.
Whether you are bar-hopping, heading to a show, or planning a lake and wine day, Gee Transportation Services handles the logistics so you can focus on the fun.
