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.

I just returned from a seven day trip with Cambia in Oaxaca. Small group tours are the best! Everything was well orchestrated on a daily tour. It was casual and time to do your own thing but also very educational. I could have never, in seven days ,figured out where all the artisans were and had the same experience. Would highly recommend. Can't wait for my next adventure!

Even though we are members, it had been several years since my wife and I visited the Blanton Museum of Art. Looking for a weekend getaway to Austin, one of the activities we had on our list was a visit to the Blanton. We wanted to see the special exhibit - The Avant-Garde Networks of Amauta: Argentina, Mexico, and Peru in the 1920s - as well as become reacquainted with the rest of the museum. We also visited the Ellsworth Kelly building, completed in 2018. This was a thoroughly enjoyable visit. The Blanton is an excellent art museum.

A description of some of the items that are contained in the center
Reviewed By austex_gringo - Austin, United States
The Ransom Center always offers a great distraction on days when the weather is not cooperating my children's weekly adventures. There are only a handful of items on permanent display, including a wonderful Frida Kahlo, the first photograph ever taken, and the Gutenberg Bible. In addition there are busts from various artists of various famous writers menu which are exceptional. The real treat The Ransom Center, however, all the rotating displays. They change them out several times a year and there's almost always something of Interest to see. The collection itself is a gold mine of minutiae covering the last 150 years or so of the western experience.

Delicious tacos with a delightful conversation. Not only did we devour the tacos, which were incredibly reasonable, but we leaned about several other must see locations in Austin. What a fabulous hidden find! The artwork was cool to see as well and it came with a little history lesson. Don’t miss this one.

Needed to drop in to Apple store, dog friendly. Yay! Strolled around with my pup while waiting fir my time slot to arrive. Some of my favorite restaurants didn’t make it through Covid, but there are so many good restaurants for whatever mood you are in. Lots of clothing stores too. Excellent people watching. Large dog park too! Parking can cube a challenge so allow some extra time ...
