6 Neighborhoods in Austin That You Shouldn't Miss

June 16, 2021 Leonarda Pillsbury

Every year thousands of hipsters, groupies, and die-hard fans flock to Austin for the annual South by Southwest festival, which has catapulted the Texas city up the must-visit charts for many travelers. The sandstone Capitol building is symbolic of the Lone Star State’s "bigger is better" mentality, featuring a gorgeous whispering gallery rotunda and 22 acres of grounds. Cool off with a dip in Barton Springs, a huge natural limestone pool that’s fed by underground sources.

SoCo District

Trendy Austin area south of Congress Avenue.

Reviewed By DebbieMG130 - Rochester, United States

This stretch of South Congress Avenue will keep you occupied and happy for days. You can divide it up into categories: food and drink; music; shops; and, of course, people watching. The Continental Club and C-boys are two of the great music venues I visited. Stop at Amy's Ice Cream for amazing flavors and add-ins. The food -- pretty much anything you like is there. Try Guero's for Tex-Mex. Just strolling around, you'll find shops that sell everything from cowboy boots to musical instruments to hip clothing.

North Loop IBIZ District

While small in size, the North Loop IBIZ District packs a big punch of coolness in just two blocks. It’s here where Austin searches for independent books, clothes, and vinyl in some of the best vintage stores in town. One can find skateboards, novelties, and antiques alongside intimate pubs, food trailers, and coffee shops offering comfort food, classic cocktails, and good times.
