Whether you are a student at one of Austin ’s many universities or studying anywhere else in Texas, you know that Austin is the right place for Spring Break because it’s a city that knows how to party. There is something for everyone in Austin regardless of what kind of music you like, what your favorite kind of craft beer is, or what food you prefer. Start at Sixth Street, one of the most popular nightlife districts in town, with inexpensive drinks, live music, and dancing. Rainey Street is perfect for a laid-back evening with local micro-brews, diverse food trucks, and loud games of corn hole. Then there is the Warehouse District and the SoCo. Red River District, which gave Austin the name The Live Music Capital of the World®. You will have to go back to school long before you have a chance to explore all Austin has to offer. If outdoor activities are your thing, take a cruise on Lady Bird Lake, get on the Butler Hike and Bike Trail or, take a dip in Austin's favorite Barton Springs Pool.
