Casual, cosmopolitan, eclectic, five-star, techie, hippie, historic, chic, intellectual, fashionable, artistic, and weird… The adjectives used to describe Downtown Austin are as numerous and diverse as the people who live, work and visit here.
Within a mile of the historic intersection of 6th and Congress Avenue — where Angelina Eberly fired a cannon to save the state archives and instead saved the Capitol — you'll find a treasure of arts, culture and interesting things to do. More than this, you'll find a center where government, education, business and people come together in one of the most energetic, creative yet somehow laid-back cities in the entire country.
Grab some margaritas, Tex-Mex cuisine and live music at any number of great restaurants and bars within walking distance, experience a college football game at the University of Texas, or enjoy one of Austin's great festivals like Austin City Limits (ACL), South By Southwest (SXSW), or the Austin Film Festival (AFF).
