Parks & Nature

At the Southern edge of downtown stretches the lovely Lady Bird Lake. Along the edge runs a Hike and Bike Trail. It provides the perfect path for walking, running, or bicycling year-round. If you prefer a more hands on approach, consider renting paddle boards or canoes to explore the area at greater length. For lovebirds, there are even swan-shaped peddle boats available!

Arts & Culture

The Lyndon Baines Johnson Library & Museum commemorates the life of our nation’s 36th president. It does a good job balancing Johnson’s good and bad qualities, but come for the period-appropriate displays explaining what history remembers from this time period. It’s worth the trip for both it’s historical and informative exhibits.

One of the better pastor street tacos I've had. They have a unique marinade. Salsas are tasty. If you want some punishment, ask for the spicy green salsa.
