Austin's Pennybacker Bridge, commonly called the 360 Bridge, is an extraordinary site. Standing atop one of the highest points in Austin, the bridge resembles a ladder which houses Highway 360 beneath it without ever touching the water below. The rust colored steel bridge folds over Lake Austin, which feeds off the Colorado River and is widely considered one of the most scenic urban drives in Central Texas.
Every Texan should try to visit the State Capitol at least once in their lifetime, and if you haven't visited since the restoration of the 1990s, visit again. Taller than the U.S. Capitol, the Texas State Capitol and its grounds are among the most beloved landmarks in the Lone Star Sate, and one of the most popular tourist attractions in Austin. Legend, lore, and history combine to make a tour of the Capitol complex educational, inspirational, and awe-inspiring.
