2nd Street District

There are lots of fun things to do around here! If you’re visiting from out of town you’re not far from “bat watching” on the Congress Avenue Bridge. This takes place at sunset 🌇 at Lady Bird Lake/Town Lake. Another fun thing to do with kiddos is visit Toy Joy. It’s a local toy store that has been around since 1987 and you’ve definitely never seen one like it! For a quick bite or drink: La Condesa! It has a festive atmosphere!

Cool place and lots of places to eat,shop, and explore! Everything is walkable and close by. Lots of areas to chill and just relax. Nice photo opportunities too

I really enjoy the second street district and all it entails. It's a hip place with a cool vibe and it has wonderful shops and places to eat. What's not to love! Check it out, you won't be disappointed...

Austin is a great city to visit. We highly recommend visiting for the live music, BBQ, etc, but like many big cities these days, the homeless problem is significant and the homeless were particularly aggressive in this city, even as compared to NY and San Francisco.

La condesa 1 of best gourmet food. Excellent food and service. The atmosphere os so relax and lovind.

Wow, talk about growth and expansion. The entire environment and landscape has totally changed to a fantastic and amazing area to explore, experience, and embrace. Oh Yeah....... priceless.

Make sure to attend an ACL Live show!

The shopping is great wether it's for the Ms. Or the kids there is something for everyone including yourself! I like to toke up and hit the candy store with the kids and get a bunch of Scooby snacks.! The Ms. likes to go to all the stores can't blame her! There are some great restaurants to visit when the shopping makes you hungry! So go down and enjoy what Austin has to offer in the district.

Nice safe outdoor shopping area. The you store is fantastic! There are a couple of nice men's clothing stores and several for women. It is within walking distance of the nearby hotels.

Cute spot. Cool candy AND Toy Joy right next door! Cute, BUT I also recommend the locations on Airport. I think they have a cooler selection. But I love me some Toy Joy Yummy Joy any day a Joy Joy 😊

Austin city limits so great. Ambiance live musics, resto. Bars... enjoy!

Too hot for daytime in September. Otherwise a really nice walk, shop, eat street. Some stores still try to push Bo-Peep 100% polyester dresses in 100 degree Texas weather.

Good place for shop and relax

Beautiful area of downtown Austin, very well lit, safe, lots of eating and shopping as well as live music nearby!

Great location with lots of choices, friendly staff, good coffee. Cheers!

Fantastic music venue, home of Austin City Limits.

Downtown street located close to capitol building .Lot of eateries and outlets ,Google fiber office is located in this street. Its well lit with decorations during thanksgiving and Christmas days

Super laid back. This is the area of downtown that I like. Things are nice and clean and not as many variables, like innocently getting punched in the back of the head. I come here when I don't feel like spending the rest of my life in a comma. I used to work downtown, stay in this area, there's plenty to enjoy.

This is a great little waking area. I really enjoyed checking out the remnants of the old power plant that they preserved. The top floor of the library has a nice view of the whole area. Very interesting!

2nd street has both good casual dining places and more high end restaurants. Worth a stroll if you’re in downtown
