Austin is known for indulgences: Queso, barbecue, and donut food trucks to name a few. But this Southern city isn't all about splurges—in fact, its booming wellness culture has given rise to some of the country's best health spots. You won't have to look too hard for delicious, plant-based dishes sourced from local farms and might have a hard time choosing from the endless outdoor activities. Here's what to eat, see, and do in the Lone Star state's capital city.
Where to stay
Check out the eclectic Heywood Hotel in the edgy neighborhood of East Austin. Each of the seven rooms features handcrafted furniture, textiles, and artwork from local artisans.
For a more secluded vibe, book a poolside bungalow at the historic Hotel Saint Cecilia.Built in 1888 as the Miller-Crockett house—where one of Davy Crockett's descendants resided—the property mixes its old Victorian charm with '60s and '70s flair.
If you're in town for South by Southwest, both options are less than a 10-minute bike ride from the main festival venues.
