Lowest Priced Flights to Austin on Alaska Airlines starting at $79*

Austin, a quirky Texas town both cosmopolitan and unpretentious, high-tech and low-key, and a center of music and film, exploded onto the national music scene in the 1970s with the growing popularity of local talent like Willie Nelson and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Cowboys, counter-culture people, and businessmen converged for live music and cold beer at iconic Armadillo World Headquarters. These days, you can catch music any night at The Parish on historic 6th Street, and dance to country music at the Broken Spoke honky-tonk. Pop into the "Funniest Person in Austin Contest" at the Capitol City Comedy Club. Explore folk art of the Deep South at the Yard Dog Gallery. Check out the children's train that circles 400-acre Zilker Park Botanical Gardens. For a unique Austin ritual, watch 1.5 million Mexican free-tail bats emerge around sunset from their seasonal home under Congress Avenue Bridge. Discover Austin's natural spring-fed Barton Springs Swimming Pool, and hike along beautiful limestone cliffs on the Barton Creek Greenbelt hill country trails.
