Austin can defy definition. College-town, big city, Live Music Capital of the World, laid-back, vibrant nightlife, family-friendly. And The University of Texas at Austin is right in the middle of it all.

Within walking distance of the AT&T Conference Center, you’ll find the Blanton Museum of Art, the largest university art museum in the nation, the Bob Bullock State History Museum, the Texas Capitol and the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum.

A short taxi trip will get you downtown to the Warehouse District, the 2nd Street District or SoCo where you’ll find restaurants ranging from fine dining to street food or you can catch a variety of live music acts ranging from jazz to blues to classic country and rock.
