Start with your kind of trip
Choose the days you want to have, then fit the hotel and transport around them.
4-day starting planFor food, music & neighborhoods
Four days around the Capitol, South Congress and East Austin, with time for a swim, barbecue and live music. Choose 2–7 days when you customize.
5-day starting planFor a dedicated race weekend
A five-day outline with a city day, three circuit days and departure. Sort out the hotel and track transfer together, before adding nights out.
Start with four city days; shorter and longer options keep the same city base. The F1 outline is a trip shape, not a confirmed session timetable. Check the event edition before booking.
The details make the difference
01 · Choose your base
Downtown for a broad city stay, South Congress for its street life, East Austin for food and bars. Compare the actual location before the room.
Find your neighborhood02 · Choose your week
Spring and fall make city days easier. Summer calls for early starts and indoor breaks; festival and race weeks need a separate plan.
Find your season03 · Plan the circuit
A downtown shuttle, reserved parking and rideshare have different last-mile arrangements. Book the correct event year and leave the circuit days clear.
Plan your F1 escapeLeave room for the good bits
Four starting points from Austin’s 32 curated activities. Keep space between the pins.
A cool-water break in Zilker Park; check cleaning and holiday hours.
Shops, coffee and music, with room to linger between stops.
Anchor a downtown and museum day around the Capitol.
A seasonal wildlife evening; check current emergence conditions.
A word from your curator
RomanI love Austin for the way a day can move from cold spring water to slow-smoked brisket to a live set you never planned to hear. Follow your appetite, linger when the music is good, and leave a little room for the city to surprise you.
Somewhere worth coming back to

Browse every curated activity and stay. Lockhart, Wimberley and COTA are separate outings beyond the city core.
A good place to start
Start with the four-day City Break for downtown, South Congress and East Austin. A two- or three-day variant keeps the focus tighter; five to seven days leave room for more city time or a separate Lockhart or Wimberley outing. The F1 plan is a different five-day outline around the circuit.
Yes for a city-led trip: walk within neighborhoods and use CapMetro or rideshare between them. Route 20 connects the airport with downtown and UT. Lockhart, Wimberley and COTA require their own transport plan; a race-weekend shuttle can be a better fit than a rental car.
March–October is the usual Congress Avenue Bridge viewing window, but emergence time and visibility vary with weather and migration. Check Austin Bat Refuge’s current observations, arrive with time to choose a viewing spot, and keep the lakefront evening flexible.
No. The catalog includes named concert listings from an earlier event edition. They do not establish the next lineup or ticket inclusion. Check COTA’s current event program before choosing a concert or race ticket.
