About Austin
Austin, located in the heart of the U.S. state of Texas, is recognised as the American city of universities and students. “Austinites” are famously recognised as people who live in Austin and some of its surrounding cities. The high number of cafes, bars, and venues with live music is due to city’s large, young population. Whether it be day or night, there are several activities that you can participate in. The Texas State Capitol is at the top of “the places to visit list”. This is followed by the Bullock Texas State History Museum, where many historical documents and artefacts about the state of Texas are on display, and the The Moody Theater, where several concerts take place.
Austin’s kitchen is as rich as its culture, and the city’s most delicious food is usually produced in small, family-run restaurants that serve customers with steak and wedges. The hamburger and pizza restaurants found along nearly every street could be the quicker solution for hungry travellers. Austin’s weather conditions are somewhat like a desert climate. The city has yearlong warm and hot days, but the nights can be rather cold. For this reason, you should take with you such weather appropriate clothing. Although public transportation is available in the city centre, it is advisable to rent a car to travel to towns located in the outskirts of Austin.
Transportation to Austin City Center from Airport
Austin Bergstrom Intl. Airport
The city center can be reached quite quickly from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. Buses and taxis are the most common means of transport but shuttle services can also be preferred due to their comfort. If you love luxury then there are plenty of limousine rental agencies to choose from.

Shuttle Service
Once you’ve passed the baggage belt no. 1 in the baggage claim area then you’ll see the SuperShuttle table, which is where you can get tickets to make use of the airport shuttle service. The shuttle service vehicles are extremely comfortable and the prices are similar to taxi fares.
Limousine
There are more limousine rental agencies at the airport than what you can count at first glance. If you want to travel in luxury then you can rent a limousine from one of these agencies, but don’t forget that you need to book in advance.
Car Rental
Once you exit arrivals, use one of the pedestrian walkways to cross the road and follow the ‘Rental Car Facility’ signs. You should find 13 different car rental companies and it’s possible to reach the city center in just 15 minutes in normal traffic conditions by following the TX-71 E motorway.

The price for a one-way ticket is only $ 1.75. You should pay with exact change. Another alternative for using the bus is to get a passcard. There are convenient spaces in the bus for your luggage.
