Austin
About 970,000 people.
Austin is the capital of Texas, where the state government makes its laws. It is famous for live music, friendly people, and a fun, creative spirit.
You can tour the giant pink Texas Capitol building, watch over a million bats fly out from under the Congress Avenue Bridge at sunset, or swim in the cool Barton Springs Pool. The nature trails around Lady Bird Lake are lovely too.

State Capitol
The Texas Capitol in Austin is a beautiful pink granite building that is even taller than the U.S. Capitol in Washington. You can walk inside and look up into its giant dome.

Bats & Nature
Every evening in warm months, the world's largest city bat colony swirls out from under the Congress Avenue Bridge. Families gather to watch this amazing free show in the sky.
