Austin

The state capital, on the edge of the Hill Country. Home to the University of Texas, a famous live-music scene, and parks and lakes for hiking, biking, swimming and boating. Circuit of the Americas hosts the United States Grand Prix just south of the city.

A college town between Austin and San Antonio, with the biggest outlet mall in the nation, a picturesque downtown, and waterways for kayaking, paddleboarding and floating.
