Getting Around

Austin is a city that's getting a bit big for its britches, as they say in the South. While the downtown area is walkable, there are tons of things to see beyond Sixth Street and South Congress. Expect some traffic when you leave downtown. Public transportation is an option, but you'll likely want to rent your own set of wheels to explore the city at your own pace.

Best time to Visit

Austin's ultra-hot summers might restrict your ability to take part in outdoor activities, and this is an outdoorsy place, so you definitely don't want that. Unless hiking or biking in 90 F weather sounds fun to you, visit at another time. Ideally, try to visit in the spring or fall. Daytime temperatures in these seasons are more moderate, generally lingering in the 70s to 80s F.

What to Pack

Outdoorsy Austin demands that you bring certain items to ensure a good time. Here are some things we recommend packing if you want to make the most of this fantastic city:

  • Sunscreen: Enjoying Austin means spending a lot of time outdoors, and that means protecting against the sun. And the sun can be pretty fierce.
  • A water bottle: This is only an absolute must in the summer, but seeing the city in the hottest months without plenty of water just isn't doable.
  • Biking gear: Bikes are big in Austin, and renting one is easy. Make sure you bring the right clothes so you can join locals on the many bike paths.
