Trying to find the perfect bachelorette party destination for a fun-loving, outdoorsy, laid back cool bride? Look no further than Austin, Texas for an incredible location to celebrate! This lively city, known as "the live music capital of the world," truly has it all.
What To Do:
Located in south-central Texas along the Colorado River, Austin is home to hundreds of live music venues and some of the premier music festivals in the country. If the bride is a live music junkie, consider planning a trip around one of the two biggest festivals in Austin – South by Southwest and Austin City Limits. These festivals bring in 130 artists and bands from all over the world in every genre from rock, to indie, to country, to folk, electronic and more on eight different stages.
While music is kind of Austin’s thing, that's not all the quirky and fun-filled city has to offer. There are tons of hiking hot-spots for the outdoorsy bride, and no shortage of rivers and lakes to tube, float, paddle board and kayak. We love swimming at Barton Springs and renting a party boat on Lake Austin.
For the party girls, Austin’s world famous sixth street is perfect for a rowdy night of bar-hopping and socializing. If your crew likes to shop, an afternoon strolling on South Congress is a must-do!
How To Get There:
Everything’s bigger in Texas, but getting to Austin doesn’t have to be a big deal. Austin is just 195 miles southwest of Dallas, 80 miles northeast of San Antonio, and 165 miles west of Houston. With its own international airport, flying in and out of Austin is a breeze, making it the perfect meeting point for groups of bachelorettes who are spread out across the country.
Average Cost:
Not only is getting there easy, the total cost for a 3-day trip is pretty fair too, with an average long weekend trip costing around $426 per person. Bachelorette trip expenses can quickly add up, but a place like Austin has lots of free and low cost entertainment to help offset travel fees. Whether you choose to grub on award-winning mexican food, bar hop all night on the world-famous Sixth Street, go shopping on South Congress, or rent a boat on Lake Austin for a day on the water, Austin could be the ideal bachelorette party spot for you!
