The City of Austin is the capital of the U.S. state of Texas and the county seat of Travis County.
The recently opened Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum , at Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard and North Congress Avenue should satisfy anyone's curiosity for Texas arcana. Exhibits include the diary of Stephen F. Austin, generally considered the founder of the state, and a Bible that saved the life of Sam Houston Jr, during the Civil War; a bullet is still lodged in its pages (Mon-Sat 9am-6pm; $5). The Elisabet Ney Museum at 304 E 44th St is a German-influenced castle-like building in a leafy, historic residential area. It preserves the last studio, with marquettes and finished marbles, of Austin's most celebrated sculptor (Wed-Sat 10am-5pm, Sun noon-5pm; free).
Zilker Park , across the river from Amtrak and southwest of the center, is one of the best of the many fine parks in the city, a perfect retreat on sweaty Austin afternoons. One of its main attractions is the spring-fed (and deliciously cold) Barton Springs Pool , a 1000ft turquoise rectangle shaded by pecan trees (daily 5am-10pm; $2.50 Mon-Fri, $2.75 Sat & Sun). You can paddle in the pebbly creek below the pool free of charge, and you'll also find hiking and biking trails, a miniature railroad winding beside the river (daily 10am-7pm; $2.75), and, to the west, the wildlife garden of the Austin Nature and Science Center (Mon-Sat 9am-5pm, Sun noon-5pm; free; tel 512/327-8181, ). South of the Barton Springs Pool on Robert E. Lee Road, the Umlauf Sculpture Garden (Wed-Fri 10am-4.30pm, Sat & Sun 1-4.30pm; $3.50; tel 512/445-5582, ) is a tranquil, grassy enclave dotted with more than one hundred works in bronze, terracotta, wood and marble. More outdoor relief can be found farther north on the banks of the Colorado River. Don't miss Mayfield Park , a peaceful idyll complete with water lilies and peacocks. Nearby Mount Bonnell gives great views over the city and surrounding countryside.
Austin's official slogan is The Live Music Capital of the World. Austin has a vibrant live music scene boasting more music venues per capita than any other U.S. city. Austin's music revolves around the many nightclubs on 6th Street and an annual film/music/multimedia festival known as South by Southwest. The longest-running concert music program on American television, Austin City Limits, is videotaped on the University of Texas at Austin campus. Austin City Limits and Waterloo Records run the Austin City Limits Music Festival, an annual music and art festival held at Zilker Park in Austin. Other annual events include Eeyore's Birthday Party in April and Carnaval in February.
Austinites take great pride in being eccentric and celebrate the differences between themselves and other U.S. cities. "Keep Austin Weird" has become a local motto in recent years, featured on innumerable bumper stickers and t-shirts. This motto has not only been used in promoting Austin's eccentricity and diversity, but is also meant to bolster support of local and independent businesses
Buildings that comprise Austin's skyline are modest in height and somewhat spread out. The latter characteristic is due to a restriction that preserves the view of the Texas Capitol building from various locations around Austin. Austin's current tallest building, the Frost Bank Tower, opened in 2004 and stands at 515 feet.
The Congress Avenue Bridge houses the world's largest urban population of Mexican Free-tailed Bats. Starting in late February, up to 1.5 million bats take up residence inside the bridge's expansion and contraction zones, an ideally suited environment for raising their young. Every evening around sunset, the bats emerge in search of insects and more than 100,000 people watch the emergences every year. The bats migrate to Mexico each winter.
The iconic Pennybacker Bridge, also known as the "360 Bridge," crosses Lake Austin to connect north and south Loop 360.
At night, parts of Austin are lit with "artificial moonlight." Several moonlight towers, built in the late 19th century and recognized as historic landmarks, illuminate the central part of the city. The towers were prominently featured in the film Dazed and Confused. The "Zilker Tree" is a Christmas "tree" made of large lights strung from the top of the Moonlight Tower that stands in Zilker Park. The Zilker Tree is lit in early December along with the "Trail of Lights," an Austin Christmas tradition
Austin is served by these major highways: Interstate 35; U.S. Highways 183 and 290; Texas State Highways 45, 71, 130, Loop 1/MoPac and Loop 360.
Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Capital Metro) provides public transportation to the city, primarily by bus. Capital Metro is building a commuter rail system that is scheduled for completion in 2008. The system will be built on pre-existing freight rail lines and will serve Downtown Austin, East Austin, Northwest Austin and Leander in its first phase. An Amtrak Texas Eagle station is located west of Downtown. Segments of the Amtrak route between Austin and San Antonio are being evaluated for a future passenger rail corridor as an alternative to the traffic congestion of Interstate-35.
Austin's airport is Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, located 5 miles (8 km) southeast of the city.
Austin is home to The University of Texas at Austin, one of the largest universities in the country and is the flagship institution of The University of Texas System—the largest state system of higher education in Texas. Other institutions of higher learning include Austin Community College, Concordia University, Huston-Tillotson University and St. Edward's University.
Most of the city is covered by the Austin Independent School District. Parts of Austin are served by other districts, including Round Rock Independent School District, Pflugerville Independent School District, Leander Independent School District, and Eanes Independent School District.
Researchers at Central Connecticut State University ranked Austin the 16th most literate city in America for 2005
