Austin Art and Architecture Bicycle Tour

Summary Description

After making your own way to meet your guide at the designated location, you'll be provided with a bike, helmet, and orientation for your ride.

Hear about the city's 'Art in Public Places' program as you roll through downtown Austin, then head to the Driskill Hotel on 6th Street, an ornate landmark that dates to 1886. Pass by the massive Texas State Capitol en route to the University of Texas at Austin campus, which has museums, public sculptures and a Skyspace installation by James Turrell.

Pedal by the historic Victorian homes found in the Bremond Block Historic District, and contrast it with the modern architecture of the Federal Courthouse and City Hall.

Your tour ends with return to the starting point after 2.5 hours.
