If it's in Texas, it must be bigger and better, right? The breathtaking beauty and unusual construction of the Texas State Capitol is truly the stuff of legends in the Lone Star State. Grab your friends and family to visit the rotunda featuring portraits of every person who has served as president of the Republic of Texas or Governor of the state of Texas. View artifacts of Texas history, including the original flag from the Battle of San Jacinto, historical paintings and some of the original Senator desks from 1888. Take a guided tour of the Capitol grounds that span 22 acres featuring historical buildings, 17 monuments, and beautifully landscaped lawns in addition to the Capitol building itself, having nearly 400 rooms and more than 900 windows. Free walking tours of the Capitol are given daily (except on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Day and Easter) and begin at the south entrance. In addition to the normal tours, groups of 10 or more can take specialty tours, including Women in Texas History, The Texas Revolution, Texas Veterans Tour, and Rest in Peace, a tour centered around the urban myths and ghost stories of the Capitol offered around Halloween.

Book lovers unite! Each October in the State Capitol, Austin holds the annual Texas Book Festival featuring more than 100 guest authors, speakers and special programs for kiddos. A bibliophile's dream come true.

Riverside Golf Course brings visitors a step back in time. The public course is steeped in Austin history and boasts excellent course conditions year-round, and is known for its mature, stately trees and big, open fairways. The 18-hole regulation course is located 3 miles from downtown Austin and offers 6562 yards of enjoyable golf. The course was designed by renowned architects J. Press and Perry Maxwell, and the historic site was the training and proving ground for Tom Kite and Ben Crenshaw. Breathtaking and distracting scenery gives this course much of its charm with its stately oaks, pecans and maples lining the fairways and slick Bermuda grass greeting golfers on the greens.
