Day 1: The Essential Austin Experience

Kick off your Austin journey with a hearty Tex-Mex brunch at El Alma. The breakfast tacos are legendary, and the margaritas are the talk of the town.

After filling up, it's time to make your way to Lake Travis for your pre-booked Alpha Boat Rentals excursion to Devils Cove.

Your evening will be a gastronomic delight at TRACE, a restaurant that combines outdoor grandeur with Austin's local flavors. Don't skip on the wood-grilled oysters or the iconic Texas pecan pie. After dinner, make your way to 6th Street to kick off the festivities. The party will start around 9pm and will go through till 2am. We recommend West 6th Street to our guests.

Day 2: Begin your day with a trip to the Barton Creek Greenbelt, a beautiful outdoor escape perfect for hiking, swimming, and exploring. As locals, we love the serene atmosphere and the variety of trails to choose from. After your outdoor adventure, head downtown for a bite to eat at Uchi, one of Austin's most popular sushi restaurants. As locals, we can't get enough of their creative rolls and the chic atmosphere at the restaurant. For dinner, check out Juliet, an Italian spot with a cozy atmosphere and delicious dishes. We love the ambiance at Juliet and the variety of pasta and pizza options on their menu. Afterwards, hit up some of Austin's best bars – Rainey Street, 6th Street, and East Austin are all great options. As locals, we recommend checking out some of the unique bars on Rainey Street, like Container Bar or Half Step, or heading to 6th Street for a more traditional bar scene.

As the evening rolls around, grab dinner at El Naranjo, a Mexican restaurant with a modern menu and beautiful outdoor patio. The mole enchiladas and margaritas are must-tries, and with a variety of dishes on their menu, you're sure to find something for everyone.

After dinner, take it easy and enjoy a quiet evening at one of Austin's breweries or wineries.
