The post Why Lady Bird Lake is The Most Beautiful Spot in Austin, Texas, US appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>Outdoor Activities
Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or a casual adventurer, Lady Bird Lake caters to all. Rent a kayak or paddleboard and glide across the glassy surface, taking in the stunning views of the Austin skyline. For a more leisurely pace, rent a swan-shaped paddle boat and enjoy a romantic cruise.
A Refuge for Nature Lovers
Lady Bird Lake is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts. Keep an eye out for blue herons wading in the shallows, turtles basking on logs, and playful otters frolicking in the water. The lush Zilker Metropolitan Park, bordering the lake’s southern shore, is great for birdwatchers with over 300 species recorded in the area.
Relaxation and Entertainment
Sometimes, the best activity is no activity at all. Spread out a blanket on the lush green lawns of Zilker Park and soak up the sunshine. Plus, if you’re lucky, you might just catch a live concert or outdoor movie screening at the iconic Zilker Hillside Theater.

]]>Houston
You’ve probably heard the phrase “Houston, we have a problem,” and this is a reflection on the fact that NASA is based in Houston, Texas. Astronauts directly communicate to Houston when they’re in outer space, making this Texan city truly one of a kind. If you’re into that kind of stuff, visiting there is a no-brainer.
San Antonio
If you’re more into the iconic history of the South, look no further than San Antonio, which is the very location of the well-known Alamo. Beyond that, you can also enjoy the beautiful scenery at the Riverwalk.
Austin
Finally, one of the most popular cities in Texas is its capital, Austin. Here’s a city that is truly unlike any of its contemporaries, being that it’s a hotbed of progressive ideals and trendy culture. Given that the rest of Texas is a bit more traditional in nature, Austin is somewhat of a black sheep in the best of ways.

]]>Take a Dip in Barton Springs
Located in Zilker’s Park, Barton Springs Pool is one of Austin’s coolest attractions. The huge natural pool is fed by underground springs which give it a toasty temperature of 68-70°F. This inviting turquoise pool is surrounded by grassy areas perfect for lounging, sunbathing, and picnicking. Just be sure to take any trash home with you!
Find a Boutique Shopper’s Paradise on South Congress
South Congress Avenue (or SoCo as it’s known to locals) is the ideal destination for shoppers looking for something one-of-a-kind to take home with them. Packed with trendy cafes, quirky boutiques, and artisan cowboy hat/boot makers, SoCo is full of hidden gems you won’t be able to resist!
Head to the Mexic-Arte Museum
Austin’s Mexic-Arte Museum is the official Mexican & Mexican American Fine Art Museum of Texas. Featuring work by past and contemporary Latinx artists, this inspiring museum is dedicated to the celebration and preservation of Mexican, Latino, and Latin American art and culture.

]]>
The 16th Annual Bat Fest in Austin, Texas is planned for August 29th. See over a million bats emerge from Congress Avenue Bridge and then stay for live music, food and drink! 
With the sunset backdrop, the flying mammals offer a fine view to finish off days filled with music, Tex-Mex, and Texan history offered by the state capital. The Congress Avenue Bridge was renovated in 1980 and became a regular “bat cave” that attracted the migrating Mexican free-tailed bats. This was great for the city’s human residents as it both provided spectacular sunset entertainment and acted as natural bug infestation.
There are a few ways to watch the bats ascend. If you’re planning on simply showing up to sit on the curb, make sure you arrive early, since it gets rather busy. You can also hike along the Butler Trail until you find a spot that overlooks the bridge or if you’re feeling really sporty rent a kayak.
To see the bats, arrive at the location between March and September from 7.30 p.m. and plan to stick around for the better part of an hour, so that you can see as much of the show as possible.

]]>1. Scottsdale, Arizona
The sunny weather plays a big role in making Scottsdale the #1 dog-friendly city in the USA, but the overall friendliness and mid-size city make it even nicer. Loaded with dog-friendly parks and trails, and plenty of vets, this city is number 1- just be careful of the hot pavement in the summer!
. #tomsthumbtrail #scottsdaledog #thanksgivinghike #newfoundlands #landseer2. Orlando, Florida
Orlando hosts the yearly American Kennel’s Club national championship which brings the city some dog fame. Along with the good weather most of the year, Orlando is also tied for first with other cities for the most dog-friendly restaurants and vets per capita.
3. Austin, Texas
It’s no surprise that another sunny city rounds out the top 3, being that both dogs and owners are more willing to go out when the weather is good. Austin is one of the fastest-growing cities in America and has many great parks and greenery to go along with being tied with Orlando for the most dog-friendly restaurants per capita.

]]>Brown’s Bar-B-Que
What makes Brown’s Bar-B-Que different from other bbq food trucks is the way that you can order your barbeque, and variety is the spice of life! You can get your meat in a sandwich, in a wrap, or even sold by the pound. Not just that, but their sides are amazing and are definitely in the spotlight just as much as their meat!
Kerlin’s BBQ
Kerlin’s is a place that people know about and keep coming back to for a reason. Kerlin’s BBQ has all your classic dishes along with some Tex-Mex influences like spiced corn on the cob with queso fresco, and fun twists on other bbq sides. But, the thing with Kerlin’s is they will sell out the few days they are open, so if you want to eat there, commit by arriving early or ordering ahead of time!
@tal.shaaLa Barbecue
If you love barbecue and pickles, La Barbecue is the spot for you. This Austin BBQ truck is so popular that they will even let you preorder your food 5 days in advance!
Swipe to see everything labeled – brisket, pork rib, pulled pork, shells & cheese, potato salad, & beans 
•••• This trip is kicking off SIX WEEKS of pretty much non stop travel for me. Work trips, moving (again), weddings, and fam time are all crammed in so please be patient with me if I’m slow to respond to messages and emails, I’m doing my best to stay on top of everything

]]>Music
Austin is renowned for its music scene. There is a lively electric music scene in the city, as well as rock, the blues, and even Latin American and African style music. If you are looking to see how the locals live, check out venues like The White Horse or the Sahara Lounge. If you want a classier, jazzier joint, go to the Elephant Room. This club is in the heart of downtown Austin and gives you such an incredible and exciting experience being up close and personal with the artists.
Shopping
Whether you are a fashionista or just looking for something special to commemorate your trip, Austin has a serious fashion scene you don’t want to miss out on. If you are in downtown, you have to visit Kick Pleat and Good Company, two of the hippest boutiques in the city.

Nature
If you are looking to take a break from city life and enjoy the great outdoors, Austin is the place for you. Go to the Greenbelt, which is an area managed by the city that has tons of trails for hiking, biking, and places to swim. For the best swimming spot, go to Lost Creek. This is where a lot of locals hang out in the summer, and you will often hear it before you see it. Zilker Park is a great way to access the Greenbelt because there is an easy entrance from downtown. This area is best for running, biking, or just enjoying the trees.

The food scene in Austin is incredible. With many restaurants abiding by the farm-to-table initiative, a lot of the produce and meat you will eat in Austin is within a short driving range, if not grown at the restaurant itself. It is also a haven for vegetarians and vegans who still want to enjoy good Texas cuisine.
)! #wednesdayeats #AFBAHH #honestlyaustin #austineatsIf you are looking for vegan-friendly biscuits and gravy, the best place to go is Biscuits and Groovy. The best thing about this place is that everything on the menu can be made vegan, so there are options galore! But beware, lines can be long. Another incredible joint in the city is BBQ Revolution. This restaurant is famous for serving traditional southern comfort food, but the twist is everything is vegan!
If you don’t have any specific dietary restrictions, then your options are endless. Try Barley Swine for an extremely local experience even down to the ingredients in the cocktails. This restaurant also has a tasting menu that is a surprise to the patrons, but everything is bound to be delicious so give it a shot!
