One of our favorite parts of crossing state lines is stopping at the tourist center to load up on free travel literature. Austinites can approximate this thrill with a visit to the Texas Travel Information Center on the Capitol grounds. Located in the old General Land Office building, the center is staffed with friendly travel counselors who can tell you about points of interest, special events, and road conditions throughout the state. Best of all, you can pick up a free map and a copy of the best-looking, most comprehensive state travel guide in the whole darn country.
