French Legation State Historic Site
About
802 San Marcos St, Austin, TX 78702, USA Get directions
French Legation State Historic Site occupies one of Austin's oldest standing structures, a Greek Revival-style house built in the 1840s during the brief decade when the Republic of Texas operated as its own nation and France sent a diplomatic representative to Austin. Today the grounds and restored house operate as a museum where you'll first notice the wooded, elevated setting just east of downtown—a quiet pocket of early Texas history surrounded by the modern city.

Circuit of The Americas
Austin
Circuit of The Americas is a purpose-built motorsports track on the outskirts of Austin, best known as the permanent home of Formula 1's United States Grand Prix, with a 3.4-mile circuit whose first turn climbs a famously steep hill that rewards walking the grounds on foot. Beyond race weekends, the property doubles as a large outdoor concert venue at the Germania Insurance Amphitheater, so what's happening when you visit depends entirely on the calendar.

The Oasis On Lake Travis
Austin
Perched on a hillside above Lake Travis, The Oasis is known for its multi-tiered wooden decks that step down toward the water, drawing crowds who come as much for the sweeping westward views as for the Tex-Mex menu. Time your visit for late afternoon, when the staff traditionally rings a bell at sunset and the decks fill up fast.
