- Austin is the state capital of Texas, an inland city bordering the Hill Country region. Home to the University of Texas flagship campus, Austin is known for its eclectic live-music scene centered around country, blues and rock.
Downtown Austin is the central business district of Austin, Texas. Downtown is located on the north bank of the Colorado River. The approximate borders of Downtown include Lamar Boulevard to the west, Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and the University of Texas at Austin to the north, Interstate 35 to the east, and Lady Bird Lake to the south.
It is where the city's high-rise buildings are located, as well as being the center of government and business for the region. Downtown Austin is currently experiencing a building boom, with many condos and high rise towers being built. The top three tallest condo buildings west of the Mississippi River are all located in downtown Austin: The Independent, The Austonian, and the 360 Condominiums.

Thank you for another awesome ride! Stay safe!
Thanks for watching!
Nice nice I wanna muve there în Austin I am from România!
I am stoned right now amd truly enjoing this video, the city is simply amazin, the vibes are so good….. i wish i would live in US
That looks like a typical southern city that is made for cars, not people. It seems that all southern cites, besides New Orleans, are made this way. There are one or two walkable streets but the rest of it, is made to drive. I didn't see much that would make me want to get out of the car but it looks well maintained, so that's good.
I think 98% of cities in the U.S. & Canada are built for cars period lol. I was shocked when I came from Europe
One of the things I don't like about Austin is that if you want to visit a place you most likely need a car. It's not much of a walkable city except downtown. A car a needed her.
@@Michael_Rr not really. Chicago is not really a safe city
@@nk2012 Downtown is which is where most tourists are.
@@Michael_Rr Chicago is awesome!
Born and raised an hour away in San Antonio, my dear family and friends reside in San Antonio, but Austin just feels like home to me. I make it a point to make the quick drive up there every weekend - I’ve been doing this for years. I hate the city of San Antonio so much, it’s like a literal night and day difference between the two. SA doesn’t care about locals, just tourists.
One day sooner than later I’ll live in ATX. ♥️
Thanks for uploading this! Miss Austin so much!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for these videos. It helps me relax a bit. And i get to see different places
Happy to hear that! Hope to visit Indonesia someday.
Wind Walk Travel Videos ʬ long time ago i used live in jakarta. Beautiful place very nice people.
Those little roundabouts are excellent.
Huge culture shock for someone coming from Europe.
How??
@@manankaushik4966 No sidewalks, no bicycles, very wide streets, not a compact city centre.
@@redwhite_040 there are sidewalks and bicycles not as many in Europe tho, and yes city center is big. Also this is filmed during pandemic so you can’t rlly judge it from watching this vid
A beautiful and amazing show. My thanks, appreciation and respect to you. I wish you permanent happiness, success and progress in your wonderful work. Health and safety to all of you with the utmost thanks and respect. Greetings.💕💕💕💕💕
I did enjoy the video!
Nice video!
How about a brief introduction of the main avenues or streets you drove through? For instance, "I am driving south on Austin avenue".
love it 💙❤💙❤ love TEXAS
Beautiful
This city is really cool.
Ovo je rec zivot jarane 😅
@@davidmedjugorac2286 haha tu sam blizu 3 sata vožnje od Austina,mjesto Frisco TX kod Dallasa nekih 20 minuta vožnje do centra pripada Dallas County-u,odlično je,sav je Texas odličan.
@@dinomujkic ja sam u njemackoj, mozda doselim u USA,pozz🙋♂️
@@davidmedjugorac2286 i ja sam doselio iz Njemačke u USA živio sam u Karlsruhe,ako to uradiš nećeš pogriješiti,pozz!
Miss Austin! There’s something in the air there unlike any other city. See you for my birthday, ATX! ❤️
Any Dallas, TX videos in the future?
🍎 Austin is one of those iconic cities of America. Yeah, I haven’t been there. We need to make a family trip down to Texas someday soon after all the pandemic passes. Many thanks for this taste of the city. - H
The New York City of Texas where everything is expensive.
Not really, iconic is LA, SD, NYC, etc
It's not worth it. I've lived here since birth and haven't been anywhere else since. It's being made into another good ol american tourist trap with million dollar homes everywhere and poverty really shooting for the big numbers. plus there's nothing to do but barhop on rainey st and bet on the fighting homeless you see around every corner, no joke.
i miss Austin!!!
I love my city very much. Unfortunately because of the times we live in with the pandemic, DT activity is just a shadow of what it was before the Pandemic. This is a very vibrant city day and night normally.
It looks un-pedestrian friendly to me. I don't see any cool neighbourhoods or streets with consistent animation (stores, restaurants, bars, museums, attractions) I see lots of wind-swept areas, parking lots, office towers with no animation and bad city planning. It looks like every souther city I've seen in America. For some weird reason, they all look and feel the same, very DEAD!
@@Torontopia We are in a pandemic, the video was filmed during the lockdown. You can't judge this city by the video. Austin is much more vibrant than what is shown and has some excellent neighborhoods, one of which I live in.
@@JNS512 Yeah, I realize this was filmed during the pandemic and the streets would have less people but I was more referring to the city planning and the design of the city. Austin is clearly the best city in Texas, as Dallas and Houston are made for cars, not pedestrians.
I checked other walking videos that were filmed before COVID-19 and even then, most of the city is very quiet. What Austin does have is 5 or 6 entertainment hubs, located mostly just outside the downtown core like SOCO, I think it's called, which are nice, lively areas but everything seems to be kept to just those concentrated hubs, which does hurt the walkability in the rest of the city. It's a nice, well-maintained city but not very weird at all. In fact, it seems pretty corporate and normal.
If I had to live in Texas, I think I'd live in Austin, so I'm not anti-Austin or anything, I'm just not a big fan of southern city design/planning. I prefer a city that is knit together with interesting neighbourhoods where you can walk everywhere in a highly animated core. (think London, Paris, NYC) In those cities one cool neighbourhood connects to another so you're almost always surrounded with people, interesting buildings, lively public spaces, stores, bars, restaurants, markets, museums, attractions and ACTION!
@@Torontopia I do agree that the city still has a long way to go and are no where near the level of cities like London, Paris or even Toronto where I assume you are from by your screen name. (By the way definitely a great city) We have come a long way however considering when I was born in 1980, Austin had only 345,000 inside the city limits and today we have just over 1 million in the city limits. Even just in the last 20 years alone, there has been an immense amount of transformation. Take a look at pictures of Austin from 2000 compared to 2020. For anyone who may have lived here then and returned today, they would not recognize the city. We are working on more walkablility and we have a great chance of passing a major mass transit plan that will bring our first underground rail tunnel and stations along with seamless transition to different modes of transit. Will be the best in the state and once completed will put us up there with some of the top mass transit cities in the U.S. I appreciate that you do see some of the qualities of the city and definitely we have room to improve.
@@Torontopia Everything in Texas is just slopped together. Done on the cheap and it shows quickly. One of the most overrated places in America. A myth that lives in their own mind.
I love the USA. I love Texas.
Wow i live in houstan downtown and this almost looks the same
60 fps? perfect
Everybody tells me that if you go to Texas, to visit Austin, it seems they are not too impressed with Dallas and Houston. Austin seems to have a great music scene, the best barbecue, and it has the Longhorns.
Each Texas city has their own attraction. Houston is basically a New York. Business business business. Alot of opportunities and the economic powerhouse of Texas (energy, medical, and aerospace). So Houston is pretty much the place you go to for making a living and having commodities. But Austin is now becoming the tech capital of the US with many tech companies moving operations there and has a clubbing district. Dallas is like the logistical city of the US because of how well it located at the center of the country and how much manufacturing is done there. Dallas has a well organized infrastructure.
👍😎
South Congress Ave. 👍🏻
I seen more foot traffic in the Ozarks. Where is everybody?
First :)
Austin looks awesome from a postcard of downtown. However, it looks bland and boring on the ground. This is the functional view of downtown. Drone pictures is not how people interact with or experience downtowns. Give me downtown Detroit over most of these boomtown downtowns any day.
Que video legal
I'm on my dad's account. I been here since I was just two now I'm 12 that place was empty when we were in pandemic now it's full of people it's almost like network
Austin is nice. Like what has been mentioned, it's very southern.
You can't fake a sense of place or community. Many southern cities want to recreate neighborhoods like you find in Philadelphia, Louisville KY or Rochester NY and you can not do it. That is what is missing from Austin as well as many other southern cities.
I need to find out where this starts exactly...
Started in South Congress Avenue
5:40 it kinda sounds like a train
Am I able to use this footage for my CZcams intro?
No, sorry.
Best city in TX
Where is everybody? --- hiding from the heat or Corona or both? --- or its a Sunday?
Maybe both. This was a weekday.
@@WindWalkTravelVideos Thanks.
COVID
Made a video similar than I found yours!
Goals I’m trying to make a video similar!
5:35 lol theres one dude
"There's no people walking on the streets", say people watching while on a couch 🙄
Dababy 🥶😋🫁😈
ربي يحفظك بحق محمد وال محمد 💐🌺🧡👍
Have you ever been eaten by a backpack?
Never again ! I zipped my way out fortunately !
🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦
Why some people walk shirtless?
Because they are californians lol
5:37 WTF wrong way driving!
I wish I lived in a place like this I live in mcallen and it's just boring and lame here
A Mini H-Town
looks nice, but nobodys on streets, wtf?
theres a bunch of weird people in austin
That's a good thing.
Wtf lol @5:40. Mans almost lost his life
Most downtown have confusing streets, you got to know those one way streets.
Next year Im moving to Austin from San Antonio
Im vegan and Austin is a Vegan friendly city.
Ok, maybe not…
Another southern city where you can't survive without a car
Dam it's a dead town
Infowars country
Porque sera que las peores ciudades de los estados son las capitales
Seems kinda boring.
This is such an overrated city. So many people praise it as one of the best cities. The people that say that spent their whole lives in the suburbs. This is another southern city where a car is required. It doesnt look walkable or bike friendly at all. There's also not a lot of great architecture. The people that think this city is great have never been to a city thats actually great, like NYC
the woke dead end of texas.
