Named after Stephen F. Austin—the Father of Texas—this eclectic capital city combines down-home charm with bustling vitality. Austin boasts an impressive resume: third best place to live in the U.S., the second-fastest growing city in the U.S., and the nation’s best-read city. Austin is also called the “Live Music Capital of the World,” highlighted by the annual South By Southwest (SXSW) festival in March—a weeklong event featuring hundreds of diverse bands. As for dining, Austin is said to have more restaurants per capita than any other U.S. city. Popular attractions include the 220-acre Wild Basin Preserve, the popular McKinney Falls State Park, and Mt. Bonnell, which overlooks Lake Austin. Dubbed “The Silicon Hills,” Austin is a high tech mecca thanks to Dell Computer, IBM, Motorola, and other companies. The city is also home to the University of Texas.
