What to expect
Texas Capitol
The Texas State Capitol is the capitol and seat of government of the American state of Texas. Located in downtown Austin, Texas, the structure houses the offices and chambers of the Texas Legislature and of the Governor of Texas. Designed in 1881 by architect Elijah E. Myers, it was constructed from 1882 to 1888 under the direction of civil engineer Reuben Lindsay Walker.
The Driskill
The Driskill, a Romanesque-style building completed in 1886, is the oldest operating hotel in Austin, Texas, United States, and one of the best-known hotels in Texas generally. The Driskill was conceived and built by Col. Jesse Driskill, a cattleman who spent his fortune constructing "the finest hotel south of St. Louis".
Willie Nelson Statue
The Willie Nelson statue, or simply Willie, is a bronze sculpture of singer-songwriter Willie Nelson, located in Downtown Austin, Texas. The statue was commissioned to artist Clete Shields by the nonprofit organization Capital Area Statues.
Congress Avenue Bridge Bat Watching
The Ann W. Richards Congress Avenue Bridge crosses Lady Bird Lake in Austin, Texas. Before construction of Longhorn Dam was completed in 1960, the bridge crossed the Colorado River from which Lady Bird Lake is impounded.

Zilker Metropolitan Park is a recreational area in south Austin, Texas, at the intersection of Barton Creek and the Colorado River, comprising over 350 acres of publicly owned land. It is named for its benefactor, Andrew Jackson Zilker, who donated the land to the city in 1917.
