With 5 days in Austin, you'll have time to experience the city's highlights. This is a city where you can paddleboard on the spring-fed waters of Barton Springs Pool in the morning, tour the grand pink granite Texas State Capitol at noon, and lose yourself in the electric energy of Sixth Street's live music venues by night. It's a place where creativity is the local currency, celebrated in world-class festivals like SXSW and ACL, and in the everyday weirdness that makes Austin authentically, wonderfully itself.
