Austin Official Visitors Guide 2008-2009 - (Page 1) Welcome to Austin, the capital of Texas and one of the country’s most popular cities. As the Live Music Capital of the World®, Austin echoes with the sound of country, rock ’n’ roll, blues, jazz and Latin. On any given evening, you can find live music playing in nearly 200 different venues. Austin stands as the gateway to the scenic Texas Hill Country, marked by rolling hills and wide-open landscapes. One national magazine proclaims our city to be “a hymn to the outdoors.” Surrounded by three lakes and a network of parks, Austin offers the perfect environment for enjoying the best of nature. The goal of the Austin Convention & Visitors Bureau is to make your visit memorable. This visitor guide is the “key” to our city. It provides hundreds of hotels, restaurants, music venues, attractions, cultural offerings and shopping options to fill your days and nights. For more information to help plan your trip, please feel free to call the Austin Visitor Center at 866GO-AUSTIN, or visit our website at www.austintexas.org. We think you’ll come back to see us, again and again. Will Wynn Mayor of Austin Robert M.
