Austin Information
Known for its casual and playful nature, Austin is the playground of Texas. Situated at the center of the Lone Star State, it stands as the gateway to the Texas Hill Country and the Highland Lakes. As the state capital and home to the University of Texas, the city supports a politically charged and culturally rich environment. It's hip, trendy, and high-tech. A large creative population-primarily musicians and artists-enhance its eclectic nature. Blessed with a temperate year-round climate and 300 days of sunshine a year, Austin lives for the outdoors. Nature trails, parks and wilderness preserves create an oasis in the heart of the city. Town Lake bisects the center of downtown and is bordered by 10 miles of hike-and-bike trails where devoted joggers, walkers and cyclists flock every hour of the day. Live music plays at more than 100 venues on any given evening in the city where the music never stops. A little blues, a little country, the beat of rock and roll, and even a few jazz licks puts Austin music into a distinctive music genre that's difficult to label.
Downtown in the Warehouse District and along Sixth Street, a six-block stretch of bars and restaurants where the largest concentration of music venues are found.
Austin is experiencing a cultural renaissance as one of only a few U.S. cities with professional ballet, symphony, opera, and theater companies. With 20 museums, dozens of galleries, and as many as 35 theater companies.
Many of the city's cultural resources are found on the campus of the University of Texas, where the Blanton Museum of Art and Harry Ransom Center are located. The Lyndon B. Johnson Library and Museum, also located on campus, remains the most visited of the nation's presidential libraries. |
