AUSTIN
Austin, the capital of Texas, is also called the Live Music Capital of the World. This nickname is no exaggeration. When visiting this city, you will be wowed by some serious live music, whether by an up-and-coming band or a well-established group, especially during their major music festivals. You absolutely can’t miss the longest running music series in American television history, and one of the most energetic music festivals, Austin City Limits, which welcomes big-name artists each year. In March, you’ll find the SXSW Music Festival, one of the largest and most influential global music events of the year. So step into those cowboy boots and start dancing your way through modern, hip, and trendy Austin. Head along Congress Ave. towards the Texas State Capitol, an historic and gorgeous building constructed in the late 19th century. While in the area, check out the University of Texas, where a beautiful campus sprawls out in seemingly perpetual sunshine, and the Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium rises up, where the famed Texas Longhorns play football. Visit the Blanton Museum of Art to see amazing European, American, and Latin American collections, and hike up to some spectacular panoramic views of the whole city at Covert Park at Mount Bonnell. Don’t forget to grab some authentic barbecue, Tex-Mex, and some of the best tacos in the world, and be sure to get your fill of that live music, especially on historic and bustling Sixth Street in Downtown Austin.

Surrounded by rolling hills, rivers and lakes, and wide-open green spaces, its downtown is where the action is.

And while Nashville boasts its share of new cuisine hotspots, two popular traditions are still all the rage: “meat and three” restaurants, where you select one meat and three veggie sides, and “hot chicken shacks,” where you choose the spiciness level of your chicken (beware: what’s “mild” in Nashville may be “hot” for you!).

WASHINGTON DC Washington DC inspires patriotic passion. The world’s first planned capital radiates from the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol, the geographic and symbolic heart of the city, down Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House.

The compactness of the city and its major attractions encourage and reward the walking tourist. The Mall is both a mile-long park and an archive of the nation’s memory. The Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial, Washington Monument, Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Korean War Veterans Memorial, and National World War II Memorial are located close or near the Mall, so you can pay tribute to those who served our country.
