Austin City Guide

Austin Transportation

Austin, Texas is linked to and from neighbouring cities by interstate highways and its own an international airport. In addition, Austin's closeness to Houston means that international travelers to Austin can take advantage of its two airports.

Austin by Air

Austin new Bergstrom International Airport, the former Bergstrom Air Force Base, welcomes both domestic and international visitors to Austin. The airport is just eight miles from the downtown area of Austin and so is often the choice of the business traveller.

Austin by Car

If driving from Dallas or Fort Worth, take the southbound I-35, this passes through Austin on its way to San Antonio.

Getting Around Austin

Austin, like all big cities, has a rush hour when traffic is extremely busy but other than that, driving through the city streets is not as taxing as in other American cities. However, having a car is not necessary for transportation as Austin has an excellent public transport service. Should you wish to hire a car, it will be well worth it as one of Austin's great delights is its surrounding countryside, with some of the most pleasant scenery found in the region.
