1 Best Sight in Austin, Texas

The Long Center for the Performing Arts

South Austin

You’ll want to visit the Long Center as much for what’s happening inside as for the ultra-modern exterior. The lakefront community gathering place and performance venue space is home to a range of live performances, including lyric opera, ballets, rock concerts, and many of Austin’s prime foodie events, including the Austin Food + Wine Festival. Food trucks and pop-up art installations and special events are also featured on the City Terrace, which offers up one of the best views of downtown and Lady Bird Lake.
