It's sunny and beautiful. It's laid back. And, it's packed with
entertainment. These are just a few characteristics that describe
the bustling city of Austin.

Beyond feeling right at home, Austin is easy
to love. The average age is 29.5. More than 60,000 students
at the University of Texas
at Austin keep the mood casual and attract the quirky,
the flamboyant and the intellectual. |
Then there's the music scene. With more than 100 clubs and countless
brewpubs, and margarita bars to choose from, Austin rocks nightly
and easily lives up to its moniker as the "LIVE MUSIC CAPITAL
OF THE WORLD." Stroll down Sixth Street on a Tuesday night
and feast your ears on alternative, country, blues or jazz music.
Catch the internationally renowned South
by Southwest music and film festival and be dazzled by the
city's annual showcase for bands, films and multimedia.
Blessed with a moderate climate, the sun reigns 230 days a year
over Austin's city limits. From late October to early May, the
weather is as close to perfect as any you'll encounter in the
United States.
With temperatures from the low 40s to upper 70s, it's no wonder
that Austin culture is so embedded in outdoor activities. From
golf to tennis, hiking to biking, the recreational culture in
Austin is flourishing.
With more than 14,000 acres of city
parks, winding lakes and rivers, Austin is also a nature lover's
haven, and you don't even have to leave your zip code to enjoy
it. In-line skaters, mountain bikers, rock climbers, windsurfers,
water skiers and world-class athletes converge around the breathtaking
views of seven lake areas, including two in the center of town.
Surrounding Town Lake and jutting off along a series of creeks
are 30 miles of developed hike and bike trails.
So... What are you waiting for? Come down for a visit... You'll
never leave!
