Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, anniversary, or a big promotion at work, it may be time to hit up the city of Austin in style. You can rent a limo or luxury town car to take you and a few friends to any of these interesting attractions for an unforgettable day to commemorate a special event.
- Austin Bats: Austin locals are well familiar with the fact that Austin is home to the largest urban bat population in North America. Bats migrate from Central Mexico to South Texas every spring and set up shop under the Congress Avenue Bridge. This is one wild, natural site that you don’t want to miss as you watch thousands of bats fly out from under the bridge at nightfall.
- Barton Springs Pool:When the weather is warm outside, don’t forget to check out this beautiful pool located in Zilker Park, standing as one of the most famous landmarks in the city. The pool is spring fed and more than 900 feet long with natural rock and gravel on the bottom. The water temperature remains a cool 68° year round, making it possible to take a dip in the fall or winter.
- Mount Bonnell: Otherwise known as one of the oldest tourist attractions in Austin, Mount Bonnell remains one of the highest points in the city with a beautiful view of Lake Austin and the downtown skyline. According to legend, if a couple climbs the mount once, they’ll fall in love; twice, and they’ll get engaged; three times, and they’ll get married.
- East 6th Street: While this street was once known as Pecan Street, it has now become a notorious area for shows, special events, and live music. Locals and visitors alike will appreciate the late night block party on Friday and Saturday nights when the roads are closed to through traffic until the wee hours.
- The Broken Spoke: If you want a taste of authentic Texas while you’re in Austin, this is the place to be. Here you’ll find cheap beer, fun music, and a friendly staff with interesting people watching while you’re at it. In true Texas style, the dance floor is home to cowboys dancing the two-step with old-fashioned honky-tonk music pumping through the speakers. Insiders recommend visiting in the fall or winter since the joint can get hot and crowded in the summertime.
If you feel like you’ve seen all that Austin has to offer, think again. You can gather a few friends and book an Austin limousine rental to check out any of these interesting sites to celebrate a special event.
