What:Stevie Ray Vaughan Statue
Where:Lady Bird Lake Trail
Why:Any self-respecting music lover will take a moment to honor this music legend and visit his statue, proudly standing at the shores of Lady Bird Lake.
What:Texas State Capitol Building
Where:1100 N Congress Ave
Why:Fun fact: This building has 900 windows, so no matter what angle you take your picture from, someone inside will probably see you take it.
What:Congress Bridge Bats (sunset)
Where:South Congress Bridge
Why:While you may not be able to snap a photo of the bats in action, you’re sure to get a great view of Congress Street and Lady Bird Lake at sunset.
What:Austin Postcard Mural
Where:1720 S 1st St
Why:Because if your friends and colleagues weren’t already aware you were in Austin from your two weeks of pretrip hype, out-of-office messages and countless Facebook check-ins at TexMex restaurants– this will for sure confirm you’re in the magical land we call Austin.
What:HOPE Outdoor Gallery
Where:1012 Baylor St
Why:This landmark is all about community and inspires it with continuously changing graffiti art. It’s a climb to get to but worth the effort.
What:“I love you so much” Mural
Where:1300 S Congress Ave
Why:Feeling guilty that you left a loved one behind while you soak in the sun, eats and sounds of beautiful Austin? Ease your guilt while you grab a cup of coffee at Jo’s and send your favorite person a selfie in front of this mural.
What:“You’re My Butter Half “ Mural
Where:2000 E Martin Luther King Jr
Why:Austin has no short supply of street art, and this is a great one to snap a photo in front of if you’re sightseeing with your best friend, significant other or your four-legged fur baby.
What:Congress Street Guitar Statue
Where:4th and Congress
Why:Part of the Austin GuitarTown Project, these 10-foot Gibson guitar statues can be found around town. And it’s a good excuse to use #musiccapitaloftheworld on your Instagram.
What: “Hi, How Are You” Mural
Where:408 West 21st Street
Why:Daniel Johnston is awesome, and so is this mural of Jeremiah The Innocent from his 1983 album Hi, How Are You, so be sure to stop by and stand in the shadow of its glory while a friend snaps a photo.
