Austin has fully embraced its inner weird, and has become one of the most popular offbeat travel destinations in the country. If you're looking to get weird in ATX, look no further, because we've got your ultimate guide to an Austin offbeat adventure right here!
Baylor Street Art Wall is the mecca of street art in Austin, and makes for a pretty rad photo-op as well. Austin's largest graffiti art wall is often referred to as a "living" art project, as the murals change sometimes from week to week.
Tip: Bring some paint - you can actually paint on the wall yourself!
Even if you're not thinking about picking up a new couch, it's still worth it to visit Austin's Couch Potatoes Furniture. Standing (or sitting) outside the building is a giant monument to couch potatoes around the world. The statue measures 34 feet-long and 22 feet-tall, and is a weird-certified Austin photo-op.
One of the most famous photo ops in the city, the Roadhouse Relics Wall is a must visit location on a pilgrimage of weird in Austin. Worth a visit for a quick photo that makes an excellent profile picture.
Mueller's Sunflowers are a sustainable public art installation that are powered entirely by the sun. Visitors can explore the hiking trail that winds along beside the massive flower-shaped sculptures.
Tip: If you have time, make sure you stick around until the sun goes down, when the pieces become illuminated like giant flowers made out of light.
If you're not totally grossed out by bats, then head to the Congress Ave bridge at dusk to see one of the coolest spectacles you'll ever get the chance to witness. If you wait long enough, you'll see massive swarms of bats doing air-acrobatics for up to 20 minutes at a time.
Tip: The best time to see the bats is directly after dusk.
As you can see, Austin absolutely lives up to its reputation as being one of the weirdest cities in the country. Add a few of these awesome offbeat locations to your trip, or hit every spot on your weird adventure in City of the Violet Crown!
