Austin is called the “Live Music Capital of the World,” with around 250 venues, most of them open every night. Most of the action can be found along Sixth and Fourth Streets, East Riverside Drive and in the Red River and Warehouse Districts. You can find just about any kind of music here and a thriving nightlife (or daylife as these pictures show) scene to go along with it.
There’s also great shopping, especially along South Congress Avenue.
