Austin Like a Local: By the People Who Call It Home

Experience Austin the local way with this insider's guide

Holy cow, Austin has a lot to offer: soaring skyscrapers, Tex-Mex food joints, and honky-tonks galore. But what's beyond the well-trodden sights? Former ambulance vehicles serving up breakfast tacos, art galleries screening cool indie flicks, and abandoned churches hosting late night punk performances - and that's just for starters. There's so much more to Austin than the Bullock Texas State History Museum and Dirty Sixth Street, and who better to show you around than the locals?

This insider's guide is packed with recommendations from Austinites in the know, helping you to discover all their favourite hangout spots and hidden haunts. Of course, with a city as offbeat as Austin we could fill the pages of this book tenfold. Rather, Austin Like a Local offers a snapshot of local life, and it's yours for the taking.

Whether you're an Austinite looking to uncover your city's secrets or a traveller seeking an authentic experience beyond the tourist track, this stylish guide makes sure you experience the real side of Austin.
