2336 S Congress Ave, Austin, TX 78704, USA Get directions
Run by storytellers who lean on local history rather than cheap scares, Haunted ATX leads walking ghost tours through Austin's older corners, trading in the city's documented hauntings and the lore that's grown up around them. Tours depart from the South Congress area, so it's easy to pair an evening walk with dinner or a drink along SoCo beforehand.

Austin's Texas Capitol Visitors Center sits a block south of the Capitol itself, housed in the 1857 General Land Office building—the oldest surviving state office building in Texas and once a workplace of writer O. Henry. Inside you'll find exhibits on the building's history and the Capitol grounds along with maps and information to orient your visit, and it's worth knowing the center keeps shorter hours than you might expect, so plan for a daytime stop.
Austin
Bats over Congress Avenue Bridge — the largest urban bat colony in North America, roughly 1.5 million Mexican free-tailed bats that roost beneath the deck from spring through fall. On warm evenings around dusk they stream out together to feed, and you can watch from the bridge sidewalk, the lawn below, or a boat on Lady Bird Lake.

Housed in a restored 19th-century brick building on Congress Avenue, the Old Bakery and Emporium traces its name to the Lundberg Bakery that once operated here, and today the city-run shop sells handmade crafts and gifts—many created by local seniors—alongside visitor information. Step inside for the pressed-tin ceiling and old-Austin atmosphere as much as for the goods on the shelves.
