Welcome to Austin, TX! - Top Ten Things to Do
10. CONGRESS AVE BATS
Enjoy the spectacle of the Congress Avenue Bats, the largest urban bat colony in North America, as 1.5 million Mexican free-tailed bats depart nightly at sunset, April through October, from beneath the bridge. View them for free!
5. 6TH STREET
Perhaps the city's best known street outside of Texas, a few blocks south of the Capitol you'll find the E. 6th Street and Red River Entertainment District. Even if the restaurants, bars, and live music don't appeal to you, a stroll down 6th Street can be visually stimulating experience.

Grocery shopping is anything but a chore at Central Market and Whole Foods, European-style markets that stocks fresh produce, specialty food items, baked goods, hundreds of kinds of cheeses, and flowers from all over the world.
