Located at the center of the Lone Star State in Williamson County, Austin is the seat of state government as well as the gateway to Texas hill country. In addition to being the state capital, the city is home to outstanding educational, recreational and cultural facilities. More than one million proud residents live within the metro area, and Austin’s population has doubled every 20 years over the past century. A mild climate and more than 300 days of sunshine a year provide outstanding recreational opportunities for visitors and new residents alike. Town Lake bisects the center of town and trails, nature preserves and open spaces can be found throughout the city. A popular summer pastime is to stand near the Congress Avenue Bridge at sunset and watch the emergence of more than 1.5 million Mexican free-tail bats. Cultural and educational opportunities abound in Austin. A trip downtown might include a visit to the state Capitol building (the nation’s tallest domed statehouse), a tour through the Bob Bullock State History Museum, and a visit to one of Austin’s many eclectic music venues. Austin is also home to a professional ballet, symphony, opera and theater company, as well as the University of Texas. This dynamic city is a truly outstanding destination, whatever your tastes.
