Whether you want to recharge your batteries or rekindle a romance, Austin Travel's knowledgeable and experienced staff will help make your dream vacation become a reality.

Resorts, cruises, romantic getaways, safaris, adventures, rest and relaxation are yours for the asking. The rest of conservative Texas may not be sure about Austin, but the world is; with fewer developed tourist attractions and more green space than you'd expect, this town has real charm. And if you haven't heard something of the capital's music scene in recent years, you're just not paying attention.

Austin is also a very green city. With a river running through it and a mild year-round climate, Austin prides itself on natural beauty. Greenbelts, waterways and pockets of undeveloped land create a unique verdant landscape. With constant 68-degree waters, Barton Springs Pool remains the favorite place in town to cool off on a hot summer's day. Town Lake, the southernmost in a series of seven manmade lakes along the Lower Colorado River, bisects the heart of downtown. Some 10 miles of hike-and-bike trails encircle the lake. President Bush routinely jogged here while governor of Texas. Farther upstream, Lake Austin and Lake Travis attract boaters, fishermen, water-skiers, windsurfers and scuba divers.
