Explore South Austin
South Austin is a fresh taste of old Waterloo (the city's original name). A mix of quaint and contemporary houses, long-running shops, and eateries by some of the city's top up-and-comers populates this lively nook of town. Visit expansive Zilker Park (home to spring-fed Barton Springs Pool), stop by performing arts venues such as the Long Center and ZACH Theatre, or explore murals, vintage shops, and hip restaurants on South Congress Avenue. Learn more about South Austin hotels and book your stay.
Dining
South Austin is home to many vibrant neighborhoods, each bursting with funky Austin flavor. Here, you'll find some of the most iconic eateries in Austin, including Matt's El Rancho, which has been serving Tex-Mex cuisine since 1952, and Loro, an Asian smokehouse collaboration between award-winning chefs Tyson Cole and Aaron Franklin.
Shopping on South Congress
Vintage shops and local boutiques mingle with high-end and luxury brands on this iconic avenue. And with a mix of casual eateries, cafes, and bars, you can spend a whole day exploring this stretch of shopping. Pick up a pair of boots at one of 3 local boot stores, shop high-end brands at Music Lane, or discover local artisans at boutiques.
Experience Zilker Park
Zilker Park is known as the “jewel in the heart of Austin”, and it's easy to see why. The 351-acre park features a natural spring-fed swimming pool, sculpture garden, stand-up paddleboarding, dinosaurs (at the prehistoric gardens in the botanical garden), and unbeatable views of the Austin skyline.
