Austin Visitor Information
Austin is one of the top visitor destinations in Texas. And from 6th Street, the University of Texas and the Convention Center, the Omni Austin Hotel at Southpark puts you near everything. Austin is the center of the Texas music and entertainment scene. Known as the “Live Music Capital of the World,” the city plays host to 100 venues that feature live music ranging from blues, country, reggae, Tejano, jazz and rock.
Austin is one of only a few U.S. cities to feature a professional ballet company, symphony orchestra, opera and an array of museums and galleries. For the nature enthusiast, lakes, hiking or biking trails and park and wilderness preserves are all within minutes from downtown.
