Things to Do in Austin

Austin is home to the oldest state office building in Texas - the Capital Visitors Center - which is rich with exhibits, photos and more that tell the story of the Lone Star State and its capital city, an honor Austin captured from Houston back in 1839. Several other museums offer a wealth of information for history buffs, while a number of world class galleries showcase the visual arts as well.

And while Austin has no shortage of things to do that celebrate its western heritage, the city's cultural scene is a vibrant one. The Austin Symphony is the city's oldest performing arts group, while Ballet Austin is celebrating five decades of riveting dance performances and Austin Lyric Opera has earned a reputation for excellence since its founding in 1986.
