When deciding what things to do in Austin, always start with live music. Tickets for Austin City Limits Live at the Moody Theater are worth some advance planning and effort—you’ll see an award-winning act in an intimate setting. The city is abundant in outdoor space, from the Barton Springs Pool on the grounds of Zilker Park to the hiking trail at Lady Bird Lake. Austin’s not short on attractions, be it the LBJ Library and Museum or the State Capitol, so prepare to get out and about during your visit.
