4. 6th Street

No trip to Austin is complete without a walk down the electric, energetic, and unforgettable 6th Street. Known as the “Live Music Capital of the World,” Austin earned that title right here, where neon lights glow, music pours from every doorway, and the spirit of creativity dances down the block. Historically known as Pecan Street, this iconic stretch was once a bustling hub for commerce and trade in the 1800s. Today, it’s a colorful blend of historic buildings, lively bars, cozy pubs, and legendary music venues — all keeping Austin’s roots alive with a fresh and modern twist. On any given night, you might catch a blues band rocking the stage, a local DJ spinning under strobe lights, or a street performer captivating a curious crowd. Whether you're here for the music, the nightlife, or just to soak in the scene, 6th Street has something for everyone.

Duration: 10 mins

5. The Driskill

Step inside one of the most legendary — and infamously haunted — landmarks in Austin: the Driskill Hotel. Built in 1886 and dripping with opulent charm, this grand hotel is as beautiful as it is bone-chilling. With its marble floors, stained glass dome, and antique chandeliers, the Driskill whispers stories from another era… and maybe a few ghosts too. From its breathtaking Romanesque architecture to the stunning stained-glass dome in the lobby, the Driskill is a walk through history. As you explore its richly decorated halls, you’ll hear stories of Texas politics, Southern hospitality, and the influential guests who once stayed here — including Lyndon B. Johnson, who had his first date with Lady Bird at the hotel.

Duration: 10 mins
