Highlights

How did Austin get its “weird” reputation? What’s the deal with all the bats? Why are locals getting into bar fights over the best breakfast taco? Find out all these answers and more…even if some of it may shock you…on our Weird Austin City Tour! Here at Twisted Texas we trolled the archives, pestered locals, & maybe even did a little dumpster diving to know all the weird and wild tales of Austin. And now we want to share them with you. Your Twisted guide will show you the best of everything Austin has to offer: live music, food trucks, weird people, and oh so much more. As an added bonus, we have a local musician riding shotgun to strum up some singalong classics and a few original tunes. So if you’re ready to do a little dance and make a little love to this incredible Texas city…this is the ride for you. We make lots of killer stops along the way, including a local snack (on us!), a stroll across Lady Bird Lake, and plenty of cool photos of local murals and the downtown skyline.

About Austin

Austin is the capital of Texas on the Colorado River, a hill-country city known for live music, a spring-fed pool, bats at dusk and Texas barbecue.

Austin lies on the Colorado River where the Texas Hill Country begins, with the long Lady Bird Lake running through the centre. The State Capitol, built of pink granite in 1888, is taller than the national Capitol in Washington, and Congress Avenue runs from it down to the river. Austin calls itself the Live Music Capital of the World, and Sixth Street and many small venues keep up the claim.

Top-ranked sights in Austin: 6th Street , Congress Avenue Bridge (South Congress Bridge), Texas Capitol.
