Not a rigid playlist

It follows the walk you actually take.

Start at the Capitol, your hotel, coffee, or wherever you already are. The beta keeps the map light and the stories tied to the block in front of you.

01

Begin anywhere downtown.

No meeting point. No “you missed the start.” Open it near Congress Avenue or the river and pick what is close.

02

Hear the place, then keep moving.

The audio is written for walking: a quick setup, the useful detail, and enough room to look around.

03

Austin names, not filler.

Congress Bridge bats, Mexic-Arte, the Paramount, the Capitol grounds, Sixth Street, and the Butler Trail.

A sample downtown thread

Four stops is enough to know if this is your thing.

  1. 01Texas CapitolStart with the dome everyone uses as a downtown compass.
  2. 02Paramount TheatreOld Congress Avenue entertainment history, before the current music-branding machine.
  3. 03Mexic-Arte MuseumA compact stop for Mexican, Mexican American, Latinx, and Chicanx art on Congress.
  4. 04Congress Avenue BridgeEnd near the water, and stay for the bats if the timing works.

Walk Austin with your headphones in and your eyes up.
