If you know us, you know we’ve spent countless weekends (and week days for that matter) exploring the city of Austin. Scoping out murals, watching Texas football games, eating at some of the best restaurants in Austin…The whole nine yards…. Austin is just our city. And not to mention, a great city to spend a weekend in! We’re sharing a list of our favorite things to do in Austin, for the perfect weekend getaway.
Things To Do in Austin
Barton Springs Pool
Austin can get hot… Like really hot. It is Texas, after-all! Barton Springs is the perfect place to chill out after a long day of exploring Austin in the Texas heat. Barton Springs is a natural spring fed outdoor pool right in the middle of the city and the water stays at a glorious 70 degrees, year round. If swimming just isn’t your thing, there’s also a massive grassy hill overlooking to the pool that is perfect for relaxing and getting some sun!
Rowing Dock
SUP? No, not literally. SUP stands for stand up paddle board and it has quickly become one of our favorite activities to do on a weekend in Austin. Rowing Dock is our go-to place for renting your SUPs (or kayaks and canoes) during a weekend getaway and is located right in the heart of the city on Lady Bird Lake. Whether you want to Kayak or SUP, visiting Rowing Dock is the perfect activity for a weekend in Austin.
State Capitol
There’s just something so cool about walking around the State’s capital! Take in the breathtaking views from inside or just explore the grounds. Regardless of which you choose, you will not be disappointed.
Mural Hunting
If you’ve been following us for a while, you know we love to find awesome murals in different cities. Austin has one of the biggest collections of murals in any city we have ever traveled to. If you love murals as much as we do and want the low down on where they are, you have to check out our 17 awesome murals post!

This is awesome! I'll be visiting Austin in September so this is perfect timing to start my planning! Thank you so much for sharing, I'll be sure to check these out! (I'm especially excited about the food and the murals :D)
I love Austin but I haven't been to any of those places! I will have to go! My favorite Austin spots are Graffiti Park, Kirbey Lane Cafe, and Amy's Ice Creams.

Okay, so this is crazy, but I’m a journalism major at TXST, but live in Austin, and the class I’m taking this summer is requiring me to a start a blog. That being said, I started this week and my overall topic is “Things to do in Austin that aren’t 6th Street.” I was browsing Pinterest for tubing necessities and happened to stumble across your blog about tubing and saw your other blogs below, and one stuck out to me (hint: it was this one). I started scrolling through it and I literally have Rowing Dock on my list too (I used to work there!). Anyway, I just thought it was such a crazy coincidence that I happened upon your blog the same week I started mine. Love it!
