Review:

Austin is famous for its local independent music scene and thriving hipster culture. Two of the country’s most famous festivals, Austin City Limits, which is strictly a music festival, and South by Southwest, which celebrates music, innovation, and media, are held here annually.

Even when no special events are being held, Austin has many permanent attractions worth seeing, such as the Bullock Texas State History Museum, the Umlauf Sculpture Garden and Museum, and the Mexic-Arte Museum. Foodies are particularly big fans of the city as it has a thriving culinary scene that plays on the strengths of its location in the Southwest.
