Downtown Austin, Colorado River

Austin: This Texan city's motto may be "Live Music Capital of the World," but that's far from the only thing on the menu for visitors. Outdoor lovers will want to hike or bike around Lady BIrd Lake, perhaps planning a post-sweat meal at one of Austin's well-regarded barbecue joints. The key down here is knowing that "moist" is the only answer when ordering brisket.
