More About Downtown Austin
Downtown Austin sits just north of the Colorado River. (Because the River is dammed, it’s referred to as – formerly Town, now – Lady Bird Lake). Texas’s State Capital building sits atop a small hill at the northern tip of Austin’s grand Congress Ave. 6th St., historically, is the other main Downtown Austin thoroughfare. While there has been a lot of development in recent years, Downtown Austin is still known for its many historic buildings. Downtown Austin is a bustling Downtown. People enjoy the Capital City for numerous reasons, including business, entertainment, education, government and nature. It’s become such a successful destination, other cities send teams to study what has made Austin so great.
Downtown Austin – Activities
Downtown Austin is flush with things to do. There are restaurants, entertainment and live music venues, museums, bars, grocery stores, including Whole Foods Market’s flagship headquarters location, and churches. There are also city-sponsored activities, yearly festivals, and a weekly farmers’ market. The Lady Bird Hike & Bike Trail, lining the southern edge of Downtown, is one of the city’s most appreciated assets: unless the weather is uncommonly miserable, the Trail teems with people exercising, visiting and taking in Austin’s natural beauty. (Thanks to Lady Bird Johnson for bringing her nature conservation and beautification efforts from D.C. to Austin.) Within Downtown Austin limits, there are a few parks. The best green expanse is the Capital grounds.
Not only does Downtown Austin house numerous businesses and offices, government buildings and residences, but we also have schools. And just north of Downtown is the ~60,000-student University of Texas at Austin.
