Austin, the capital of Texas, is widely known as the “Live Music Capital of the World” and the “City of the Violet Crown.” It’s also one of the safest cities in the country and known as a clean-air city because of its strict no-smoking ordinances. Home to 912,000 people, it’s a center for music, film, technology, and a burgeoning food scene. Austin also has a reputation for being friendly to subculture, as noted by its unofficial slogan “Keep Austin Weird.” Whether you need an Austin party bus rental or a humble shuttle can, our staff can help you organize your next trip with ease.

The city of Austin is divided into several districts, including:

  • Downtown, the business center and home to many of the live music venues in Austin
  • North Central, an historic district full of cafes and residences
  • UT and the Drag, the artistic and student district
  • Northwest Austin, where upscale shopping meets technology

Here are just a few of the sights you can see when you book a charter bus rental in Austin.

Places to visit on a Charter Bus in Austin

Austin is famous for its live music, and hosts a wealth of music festivals each year. From SXSW to Chaos in Tejas to the Austin City Limits festival, there’s always new music happening in Austin. The city also holds a number of film festivals each year, from shows at the Alamo Drafthouse to the Cine Las Americas International Film Festival and the Austin Gay and Lesbian International Film Festival.

While much of the city is friendly to foot traffic or bike, the most comfortable way to see the city sights is by bus rental in Austin. Whether you’re in Austin for one of Austin’s many music and film festivals, or visiting to enjoy the nearby kayaking and hiking opportunities, Austin has something for everyone — and Metropolitan Shuttle can help you see it all.

LBJ Presidential Library

Located on the campus of the University of Texas at Austin, the LBJ Presidential Library is one of thirteen presidential libraries nationwide. The library was dedicated in May of 1971 by President Richard Nixon, and occupies fourteen acres. The library features year-round viewing of its documents and exhibits, drawing thousands of tourists each year. Visitors can view a replica of the Oval Office, and over forty-five million pages of historical documents. History buffs recommend blocking out about three hours to see all the LBJ Presidential Library has to offer.

Mount Bonnell

Also known as Covert Park, Mount Bonnell has been a magnet for tourists since the 1850s. From here, you can look down on a beautiful view of the city of Austin and the nearby lake. There’s a walking trail and a set of stairs for easy climbing to the point, and the sunsets from Mount Bonnell are reputed as second to none. Mount Bonnell is popular with hikers, photographers, and those looking to get out into nature for awhile. Mount Bonnell is only a nineteen minutes from downtown by charter bus rental.

Bullock Texas State History Museum

Take a minibus rental to Austin and see “the story of Texas.” Dedicated to state history, the Bullock Texas State History Museum promises to be paradise for history buffs and casual enthusiasts alike. Established in 2001, the $80 million museum features three floors of exhibits, named “Land,” “Identity” and “Opportunity.” There’s also an IMAX theater showing a film called “Star of Destiny,” about the history of the Lone Star state. Other features (past and present) include an exhibition on Stevie Ray Vaughn, the work of Daniel Johnston, and education programs for students.

Thinkery

The Thinkery, a children’s museum, was once a traveling exhibit without a permanent home. Since 1983, the Thinkery has been entertaining, educating, and engaging children with sensory exercises, engineering projects, and more. The Thinkery finally settled on a storefront location in 1987, but has remained mobile, changing locations twice since. The Thinkery’s exhibits include a kitchen lab, a light lab, workshops, and programs to encourage kids to build and create. The Thinkery is the perfect destination for educators to book a school bus rental in Austin.

Umlauf Sculpture Garden & Museum

Just next to Zilker Park is the Umlauf Sculpture Garden, dedicated to the work of sculptor Charles Umlauf. Umlauf (1911-1994) was a master of abstract sculpture who found himself employed by the WPA Federal Art Project during the Depression and later went on to teach art school at the University of Texas in Austin. His home and work was donated to the city upon his death, and was turned into the sculpture garden and museum afterward. Make a day of it, book a minibus rental in Austin, and relax and enjoy the turtle pond in between viewing the sculptures.
