Regions at a Glance
In a vast and varied place like the Lone Star State, it should come as no surprise
that you can have just about any experience your little ol' heart desires here. If
you're looking for outdoor adventure, the Gulf Coast and west Texas have it in
spades. Dallas and Houston are your ticket to big-city culture. Simpler, small-
town pleasures await outside metro areas everywhere, especially in northeast
Texas, Hill Country and east-central Washington County. If you want to eat,
drink and be entertained, San Antonio and Austin have you covered. The trouble
may be deciding exactly what you want to do.
Austin
Live Music
Fun an' funky Austin has something going on every day of the week. Live music runs the
gamut from local country to alternative and avant-garde.
Parks & Greenbelts
Take a dip in a natural spring pool, hike and bike along Lady Bird Lake or rent canoes or
kayaks in Zilker Park. A big part of Austin's attraction is to be found outdoors.
