Welcome to Austin, Texas<\/a>, home to the best food, music, and greenery in all of Texas. Now you might expect me to mention the Capitol building or the annual Austin City Limits music festival, but did you know that Austin is home to over one million Mexican free-tail bats?\u00a0Or that the\u00a0University of Texas at Austin\u00a0has a pond smack dab in the center of campus with dozens of friendly turtles? However, if you aren\u2019t a bat or turtle enthusiast, don\u2019t worry. There are still plenty of things for you to enjoy. So, sit back and relax as I give you an exclusive, insider\u2019s tour of the best city on earth.<\/p>\n

First up on our tour, the thing that everyone loves most: food.\u00a0Austin was named one of\u00a0the top twenty foodie cities in America and is home to some of the best restaurants and food trucks in the state. Austin\u2019s food is as diverse as its people; whether you\u2019re searching for a healthy salad or some Korean kimbap, Austin has it all. And if you\u2019re like me, with a huge sweet tooth and even bigger disregard for the freshman fifteen, then places like Voodoo Donuts, a restaurant famous for its quirky donuts, or Lick Honest Ice Cream<\/a>, a local favorite, are perfect for you.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nNow that you\u2019ve eaten your way through the city, you can work off all of the extra calories by exploring some of Austin\u2019s many green spaces. Despite being one of the largest cities in Texas, Austin has over 300 parks<\/a>, making it the perfect place to take your dog or rowdy kid. The most popular park by far is Zilker, but if you\u2019re looking for somewhere less crowded, Mueller Lake Park<\/a> and the Waller Creek Conservatory<\/a> are also great places to see. Austin truly is the best place if you\u2019re looking to get in touch with your nature-loving self without leaving the comfort of the big city.<\/p>\n

Next up are the aforementioned bats. During the summer and autumn, Austin\u2019s Congress Avenue Bridge<\/a> becomes home to the largest urban bat colony in the world. At dusk, you can stand on the bridge or take a scenic boat cruise and watch as the bats emerge from the bridge and disappear into the city to fight crime…I\u00a0mean insects.<\/p>\n

And finally, perhaps my favorite thing about Austin is its walls.\u00a0Despite how odd that may sound, Austin\u2019s walls are the perfect tribute to the city\u2019s liveliness. The many young artists that have made Austin their home have left murals that capture the spirit of the city. On more than one occasion, I have stopped at a random wall for an impromptu\u00a0photo shoot with friends. So, if you really want to experience Austin, take a walk through downtown. Snap some pictures next to an artsy wall. Stop at a food truck. But most of all, let yourself wander. This city never fails to amaze.
