Austin Local's Guide: Where to Take Friends

Having called Austin home for three years, I've perfected the art of showing visitors the best of our city! Here's my curated guide mixing iconic spots with local favorites. 🎨 Blanton Museum of Art Perfect 45-minute cultural stop 🖼️ Don't miss the stunning "Austin" light installation Colorful glass creates rainbows on sunny days Beautiful plaza for coffee and people-watching ☕ 📸 Pro tip: Late afternoon light = magical photos 🌅 The Oasis on Lake Travis "Sunset Capital of Texas" 🌇 Multi-level decks with epic lake views 🏞️ Arrive 90 minutes before sunset for best spots Bell ceremony + crowd cheers = pure magic 🍹 No reservation? Rooftop bar has same amazing views! 🛍️ South Congress Avenue Austin's coolest shopping street Mix of luxury boutiques + funky local shops Must-see: "I love you so much" mural at Jo's Coffee Two Hands brunch = worth the wait! 🥑 🍦 Don't miss Jeni's amazing ice cream! 🏛️ UT Campus & Co-op Historic campus with gorgeous architecture 🏛️ University Co-op = best Longhorn souvenirs 🐂 Nike x UT collabs + local brands 👕 Perfect for casual stroll between activities 🌳 Outdoor Adventures Lady Bird Lake trails + skyline views 🏞️ Barton Springs Pool: natural spring swimming 🏊 Kayak rentals for city views from water Zilker Park: festivals and green space 🍴 Food Truck Heaven East Side = foodie paradise 🍔 BBQ, tacos, vegan eats - something for everyone Rainey Street: bungalow bars + great vibes Franklin BBQ if you're brave enough to queue! 😅 #US #Texas #Austin
