From alternative festivals and live concerts, to theater plays and sporting events, there are plenty of interesting things to do in Austin. Texas State Capitol is arguably Austin's most visited attraction, but to learn the full story of the state--from the earliest Native American communities to the struggle for independence and the modern era--go to Bullock Texas State History Museum.
