6th Street, lake days, and BBQ before the bars. Somebody has to make the plan, and since it is going to be you, most of it is already done here. 3 days in Austin, with the reservations that need a name on them flagged and the rest left loose. Get in the night before if the flights allow it, because Day 1 opens at a fixed hour. Nobody wants the weekend to start with a rental car queue and a supermarket run. This guide maps 11 hand-picked places across 6th street & bars, lake & outdoors, and bbq & tacos in Austin, TX, grouped the way you would use them once you are on the ground. The map below is the useful part, because it shows how far apart the stops sit, which a plain list of names always hides. Duplicate the trip in Arriv to set dates, swap stops, and plan with your group.

How to use this Austin guide
- Follow the day-by-day order as a starting spine, because it already accounts for what sits near what. 3 days is the intended pace, and once you duplicate the trip you can stretch it or compress it to fit the flights.
- Day 1 assumes you are checked in and moving, so the first big block starts on a morning that is already yours. Land the night before if the schedule allows it.
- 5 stops carry a note about reservations, timing, or where to eat after the main event. Read those first, because they are the ones that change what you end up booking.
- The lists are themed on purpose, which is why they hold together as sets: 6th Street & bars, Lake & outdoors, BBQ & tacos, and more. Use them when you have finished the scheduled stops and still have an evening to fill.
- Pin the map so you have it on your phone at the airport. Duplicate into Arriv when you are ready to lock dates, add hotels, and share the plan with everyone coming to Austin.
