Austin Travel FAQs

A rental car is strongly recommended if you want to do a lot of sightseeing and explore Austin fully. Austin has a bus system, but its public transit isn’t as reliable as larger cities like Dallas or Houston. You’ll save money getting a rental if you’d otherwise use rideshare services. 

Yes, driving in Austin can be challenging, especially in the downtown area. Downtown Austin features many one-way streets, making navigation difficult for visitors unfamiliar with the area. And since Austin is a highly populated city, it can get very congested, particularly during rush hour.

Austin’s claim to fame is “The Live Music Capital of the World.” The city is teeming with live music venues, music festivals, and local musicians, and it’s home to the PBS TV concert series, “Austin City Limits.” There’s a year-round musical presence, so a visit at any time of the year will be perfect for musicians and music lovers. 

The largest urban bat population in North America is in Austin. The bats are easy to spot around sunset between late March and early fall. We recommend you allow yourself plenty of time to see the bats because their nightly flight kicks off anywhere from 7:30 to 9:45 PM. The best place to observe them is the Statesman Bat Observation Center.

That depends on your travel itinerary. Austin has dozens of festivals and entertainment venues throughout the year. Its famous bat population can only be seen between late March and early fall. Austin can also get very hot and humid, so tourists wanting to visit during milder weather will want to stick to March through May or September through November.
