Baylor Street Art Wall

This is one of those stops that uniquely capture the essence of Austin. Once slated to be a condo project that ended up not materializing, the concert foundation has become a canvas for local graffiti artists. It is constantly changing, just like the city. While visiting, be sure to climb to the top to get a great view of the city.

Roam the City in an Electrified Manner

Rocket Electrics gives you a one-of-a-kind way to explore the city. These are not your regular ol’ bikes. They’re electric powered so when you need some extra oomph, no peddling necessary. You can rent them to explore on your own or take a tour – choice is yours!

Explore 6th Street

A trip to the “Live Music Capital of the World” wouldn’t be complete without discovering some of Austin’s up-and-coming talent along 6th Street. After drastic restoration took place in an effort by the National Register of Historic Places to save the area from its grungy reputation, this area became the hub of Austin’s music scene in the 1970s. Today, 6th Street, between Lavaca Ave and I-35, buzzes with activity from surrounding shops, restaurants, bars and yes, live-music joints such as Emo’s.

Go River Tubing

Cruise down the river on a tube while you enjoy drinks and get the adrenaline pumping! One of the area’s favorite summer outdoor activities – river tubing with ATXcursions is the most convenient way to float: transportation to and from downtown Austin. You can book it online as well.
