Best Time To Visit Austin
The peak travel months to Austin are during the months of April, July, October.
Austin is the state capital of Texas. Home to the University of Texas flagship campus, Austin is known for its eclectic live-music scene centered around country, blues and rock. Its many parks and lakes are popular for hiking, biking, swimming and boating. South of the city, Formula One’s Circuit of the Americas raceway has hosted the United States Grand Prix.
The Revival-style 1888 capitol building, sheathed in pink marble, is an iconic sight. To the east, Sixth Street is home to many of the city’s oldest music venues and Victorian buildings. Two large festivals, South by Southwest (SXSW) and Austin City Limits, focus on music but also offer events related to food, film and technology. The trail-lined Lady Bird Lake runs through the city center. It adjoins the 350-acre Zilker Park, home to Barton Springs Pool, a swimming hole warmed by natural springs.
