Each year, the area attracts visitors looking for history, technology, natural landscape and of course, \u201cweirdness\u201d. The capital has a lot to offer, and makes a great destination for a staycation for all travelers. But, with so many things to do in Austin, you may not know where to start planning. Let us help you plan your ideal Austin staycation.<\/p>\n<h2>Downtown Austin Staycation<\/h2>\n<p>You\u2019ll find the epicenter of Austin\u2019s off-beat culture in the city center.

Holding the title as the largest capitol in the United States (yes, including the U.S. Capitol), its granite exterior shines in the Texas sun. Inside, you can learn about the history of the building through a 30-minute free tour. If you\u2019re looking for more Texas history, visit the nearby <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thestoryoftexas.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bullock Museum<\/a>.

When you think Austin, you\u2019re likely imagining this neighborhood&#8217;s iconic restaurants, quirky vintage shops and endless live music.

Wrap up the afternoon at one of the city\u2019s 50 breweries. Or try something more fruity at <a href=\"https:\/\/austineastciders.com\/pages\/restaurant\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Austin Eastciders cidery<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, don\u2019t miss the shopping which includes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bigtopcandyshop.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Big Top Candy Store<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/lucyindisguise.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lucy In Disguise<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kendrascott.com\/stores\/directory\/store?StoreID=265080\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">flagship Kendra Scott jewelry store<\/a>, and many cowboy boot outfitters.<\/p>\n<h3>Don&#8217;t Forget to Catch a Film<\/h3>\n<p>Austin fosters creative outlets in music, arts and technology, but did you know about Austin\u2019s predominate film scene? Experience it by checking out film events at the city\u2019s many local theaters. <a href=\"https:\/\/drafthouse.com\/austin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alamo Drafthouse<\/a>, a local movie tavern, features special movie nights, food and beer.

From here, you\u2019re minutes from Austin\u2019s best attractions, including Sixth Street, plus enjoy the rooftop pool and on-site dining.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Austin Staycation in the Hill Country<\/h2>\n<p>If your idea of an Austin staycation includes more hills than hip, you&#8217;ll want to head out west to experience a different side of Texas culture. Just minutes from the city center, away from the skyscrapers, you\u2019ll still find history, restaurants and entertainment, with plenty of nature to explore.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Natural History to Explore<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15952\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.omnihotels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/1000x700_stock_hamilton_pool_preserve.jpg\" alt=\"Austin Staycation Destination: Hamilton Pool Preserve\" width=\"1000\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.omnihotels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/1000x700_stock_hamilton_pool_preserve.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.omnihotels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/1000x700_stock_hamilton_pool_preserve-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.omnihotels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/1000x700_stock_hamilton_pool_preserve-768x538.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Take advantage of the mild Texas weather to enjoy year-round opportunities to explore the Texas Hill Country. The <a href=\"https:\/\/austinparks.org\/barton-creek-greenbelt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Barton Creek Greenbelt<\/a>, one of Austin\u2019s most popular outdoor destinations and on the list of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timeout.com\/austin\/things-to-do\/best-hikes-in-austin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Austin\u2019s best hikes<\/a>, spans seven miles of forests, limestone cliffs and \u2013 pending rainfall \u2013 swimming holes! For easy access to the trails, start at <a href=\"https:\/\/austinparks.org\/zilker-metro-park\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Zilker Park<\/a>. Venture further west to one of the most popular natural springs in the area. The thousand-year-old <a href=\"https:\/\/parks.traviscountytx.gov\/parks\/hamilton-pool-preserve\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hamilton Pool Preserve<\/a> is one of over three thousand natural springs in Texas. A short hike leads you to a stunning jade pool. You can cool off under the cliffs or diving in \u2013 when permitted. Plus, the pool is never crowded as reservations are required.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Heaping Helpings of Texas Eats<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15953\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.omnihotels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/1000x700_stock_texas_bbq.jpg\" alt=\"Texas Barbeque \" width=\"1000\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.omnihotels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/1000x700_stock_texas_bbq.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.omnihotels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/1000x700_stock_texas_bbq-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.omnihotels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/1000x700_stock_texas_bbq-768x538.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ve got to eat during your Austin staycation, don\u2019t you? While driving through the hills, you may notice the smell of smoked meats luring you to a tray of authentic Texas barbecue. Of the renowned Texas BBQ joints, the most well-known is <a href=\"https:\/\/saltlickbbq.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Original Salt Lick BBQ<\/a> in Driftwood, Texas. Since the late 1960s, Salt Lick BBQ has been serving up meats and sides while gaining popularity only by word-of-mouth. It didn\u2019t take long for Salt Like to earn its spot on BBQ rankings across the state.<\/p>\n<p>The Hill Country is also home to over 50 wineries, breweries and distilleries. There are tour services available. However, you can create your own trail down the well-traveled Highway 290 or meandering smaller highways. Most wineries offer tastings, outdoor seating, light bites and live music. But we recommend, checking availability, offerings and hours prior to going.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Cultivate Some Texas Culture<\/h3>\n<p>Other seasonal attractions tucked away in the Hill Country include fruit orchards, lavender farms, olive groves and more. The area cultivates local produce, and many farms welcome visitors for tours and tastings. You can also pull off and purchase fresh and local peaches or pecans at roadside stands.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, another favorite Texas pastime that embodies cowboy culture is live country music. Spurring from the European settlers, <a href=\"https:\/\/texasheritageforliving.com\/texas-living\/preserving-texas-last-historic-dance-halls\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">dance halls<\/a> served as the heartbeat of small towns across Texas. These days, locals enjoy their Texas Country music in more modern venues like the <a href=\"https:\/\/nuttybrown.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nutty Brown Amphitheater<\/a>. However, the city of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckenbachtexas.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Luckenbach, Texas<\/a> (Population: 3) hosts live music daily. The whole town-turned-music venue is a must-do in Texas.<\/p>\n<h3>For Your Stay<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15951\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.omnihotels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/1000x700_ausrst_exterior_poolscape.jpg\" alt=\"Omni Barton Creek Resort\" width=\"1000\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.omnihotels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/1000x700_ausrst_exterior_poolscape.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.omnihotels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/1000x700_ausrst_exterior_poolscape-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.omnihotels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/1000x700_ausrst_exterior_poolscape-768x538.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For the ultimate Austin staycation accommodations, the newly renovated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omnihotels.com\/hotels\/austin-barton-creek\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Omni Barton Creek Resort &amp; Spa<\/strong><\/a> combines unmatched views, four swimming pools, a new Mokara Spa and four premier golf courses.
