My wife and I will be in Austin in November visiting your city for the first time. Any suggestions on places to see, from a non tourist perspective? We’re not in to the super touristy kind of stuff as they tend to be underwhelming and overpriced.
Try to catch a sunset at Oasis Texas Brewing Company (not to be confused with The Oasis, which is next door and has awful overpriced food and drinks).
Will you be around on a weekend during that timeframe? Both UT Football and Austin FC games are a lot of fun, and you can usually find cheap seats if you aren’t too picky about location.
If you’re into art, The Blanton Museum of Art is always a good stop (works doubly well if you go to a Longhorns game, as it’s situated on the edge of UT’s campus).
Make sure you try some BBQ while you’re in town, as we have some of the best brisket in the country. Franklin is the headliner, but there are lots of other options in the same tier of goodness with less of a line, so feel free to reach out if you want specific recommendations there.
Really enjoyed taking my GF here.
well everything is overpriced. Check out what is playing at the Paramount, see the Wildflower Center, the Blanton and the Bullock museums, and if you see a line for anything it is very likely not worth it.
