Whether you’re in from out of town or a local looking to experience the ATX with fresh eyes, the Austin Visitor Center is a terrific resource. Newly installed this spring in the historic Phillips Building on Fifth Street, the bright and airy space is multipurpose: You can grab maps, ask staff for sightseeing recs, sip a coffee from the on-site cafe, book a walking tour, purchase an Austin-made keepsake, and even stash your luggage for $8 a day so you can go tourist your little heart out unencumbered.
