10 Amazing Spring Travel Ideas in the U.S. You’ll Want to Plan Now
3. Austin, Texas

Spring is the perfect time to visit Austin before the summer heat makes outdoor adventures unbearable. The weather is ideal for exploring Austin's stunning natural beauty, like hiking the Barton Creek Greenbelt, swimming in Barton Springs, or kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding on Lady Bird Lake.
Not a fan of the outdoors? No problem! Spend your day shopping on South Congress, where you can discover unique boutiques and find the perfect pair of cowboy boots at Allens Boots or Tecovas. Once you're all decked out in your new boots, head to Dirty 6th Street for a drink and some live music, or check out the music scene along Rainey Street to see why Austin is known as the “Live Music Capital of the World.”
