🇺🇸 Austin, Texas 💗 The Ultimate Treasure Map of Must-Voist Spots

🏞️ ATTRACTIONS: 🌟 The Oasis – One of the most romantic sunset and night views I’ve ever seen! 🔒 Locks cover the rails—order drinks and snacks, chat, and enjoy the view (food isn’t the highlight though 😉). 🌟 South Congress Ave – Bustling street full of eateries, bars, gift shops, and cowboy-themed stores! 🤠🛍️ 🌟 Texas Capitol – A grand, historic yet modern white-domed building. Free entry and super photogenic! 📸 🌟 Mount Bonnell – A historic landmark with panoramic views and beautiful stone architecture. Feels like another world! 🌄 🌟 360 Bridge – Amazing elevated views of the bridge and Colorado River. 🌉 🌟 The Exotic Resort Zoo – Get up close with adorable animals! 🦙🦌 They even let us feed a baby calf with a bottle—heart-melting! 🥛💖 🌟 Pedernales Falls State Park – A charming green-hued river with unique weathered rocks. Not massive, but pretty and peaceful. 🏞️ 🌟 Pioneer & Wimberley – Two cute towns just 3 mins apart. One is a classic cowboy town, the other has boutique shops and the gorgeous Blue Hole! 💙 🌟 Ann W. Richards Congress Ave Bridge – From March to October, 1.5 million bats fly out at dusk. A must-see natural wonder! 🦇✨ 🖼️ MUSEUMS: 🌟 Blanton Museum of Art – Multicultural art exhibits, very Instagram-friendly! 🎨📸 🌟 Bullock Texas State History Museum – Compact but rich in Texas history. 📘 🍽️ FOOD & DRINK: 🌟 Tiki Tatsuya – Whimsical decor, light shows, great music! Fun drinkware + tasty food. Birthday discounts + free dessert! Nearby ramen spot is also theirs. 🍹🎉 🌟 The Peacock – Elegant setting with beautiful tiles. Beef hummus and lamb chops are delicious (though lamb was a bit overcooked for me). 🥙 🌟 Sip Pho – Huge portions, deeply flavored broth and tender meat. 🍜 🌟 El Raval – Excellent squid ink paella! Skip the desserts though—waiter was super nice and gave us free side dishes! 🥘🤵 🌟 Caroline – Try the marshmallow coffee! ☕🍡 🌟 Texas Sushiko – Fresh and delicious hand rolls! 🍣 🌟 Kelly’s – The BEST BBQ ever! Not overly salty, super tender meat. Highly recommend the colesaw too! 🍖🔥 #Texas #TravelUSA #RoadTrip #AustinEats #Austin
