Austin Insider Blog

This blog, written and curated by Visit Austin staff, shares the things that visitors love and locals can't get enough of.

Self Guided Tour of UT Austin

Nestled in the middle of Austin is the University of Texas , home of the Texas Longhorns. Although the university is nicknamed the "Forty Acres," it actually sits on about 431-acres and plays host to nearly 51,000 students annually. Visit one of the many on-campus museums or opt for a self-guided walking tour to see the historic buildings, sculptures and other points of interest.

110 Inner Campus Dr. Standing tall with 27-floors, the UT Tower is the most recognizable building on campus. Take a tower tour and catch a glimpse of the full campus from the observation deck. Also, be sure to spot the Tower glowing burnt orange for special events and after any Longhorn win.

Littlefield Fountain

201 W. 21st St. Just south of the tower, at the university's South Mall entrance sits a World War I memorial fountain, sculpted by Italian-born Pompeo Coppini in 1933. The fountain is a great place to stop to see a full view of the Tower and snap a quick photo. Plus, look south from the fountain for a view of the Capitol building and downtown Austin.

Blanton Museum of Art

200 E. Martin Luther King Jr Blvd. Continue southeast from the fountain to visit one of the largest university art museums in the nation. The Blanton Museum of Art  features an impressive permanent collection and temporary exhibitions. From the first step inside, you are met with " Stacked Waters ," an ombre, blue permanent installation by Teresita Fernández that surrounds the museum's staircase. Make sure to visit the unique marble building and colorful installation aptly named " Austin ," designed by Ellsworth Kelly and located behind the main building.

Bullock Texas State History Museum

1800 Congress Ave. Just across East Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard from the Blanton is the Bullock Texas State History Museum . For history buffs of all ages, the Bullock is filled with interactive Texas history exhibits and is home to the city's IMAX theater. Don't forget to snap a photo with the 35-foot star in front that represents the Texas flag's lone star.

Darrell K Royal - Texas Memorial Stadium

2139 San Jacinto Blvd. Back on campus, walk north on San Jacinto Boulevard to pass through the heart of Longhorn sports. On your way towards DRK Stadium, keep an eye out for the Lee & Joe Jamail Texas Swimming Center and the Mike Meyers Track & Soccer Stadium. Home to the Longhorn football team since 1924, the massive Darrell K Royal Stadium holds approximately 100,119 fans and is the heartbeat of the University on game day.

LBJ Library and Museum

2313 Red River St. Just one block northwest of the stadium, pass by the LBJ Fountain on your way to the  LBJ Presidential Library  (temporarily closed). For those interested in political history, you won't want to miss this museum covering President Lyndon Baines Johnson's presidency, political career and American history during his time in office.

Botany Greenhouse + Turtle Pond

205 W. 24th St. From the museum, head west towards the UT Tower, passing by the statue of Martin Luther King Jr. between the College of Liberal Arts and the Jackson School of Geosciences. Follow Inner Campus Drive just north of the tower to find the turtle pond and Biological Greenhouse, one of several on campus. Pick up lunch from the Texas Union (and peek inside the Cactus Cafe to spot posters of past performers lining the walls), then have a picnic under the grove of trees and take in the view or watch the turtles in the small pond for a peaceful retreat.

Barbara Jordan Statue

307 W. 24th St. Follow Whitis Avenue one block north from the Turtle Pond to see the memorial to Barbara Jordan. Jordan, the first Southern African-American woman elected to the United States House of Representatives, was a politician, a Civil Rights Leader and a Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient. Her iconic statue stands underneath the stately Battle Oaks , three live oak trees that are believed to have stood there since before the American Civil War. Just across the street, you'll spot the Littlefield House (not open to the public). Gifted to the university by Civil War veteran George Littlefield in 1935, the Littlefield House is one of the last Victorian style homes in the city. The historic abode was initially built in 1893 for Littlefield, a significant benefactor to UT.

Battle Hall

302 Inner Campus Dr. Walk two blocks south to see one of the best examples of Spanish-Mediterranean Revival architecture on campus. Recognized for its blue doors, Battle Hall was built in 1911 and was the first on-campus building to be added to the National Register of Historic Places. Once the main library on campus, Battle Hall is now home to the Architecture and Planning Library and other Architectural Archives. The building was designed by architect Cass Gilbert, who helped design for the U.S. Supreme Court Building.

César Chávez Statue

West Mall near Battle Hall Nearby, visit the stunning bronze statue of Mexican-American Civil Rights leader César Chávez, located between Battle Hall and the West Mall Office Building. Unveiled in 2007, the figure was designed by sculptor Pablo Eduardo and mostly funded by students. Chávez was an activist and farm worker who co-founded the National Farm Workers Association.

The University of Texas campus is also home other museums: see dinosaur fossils at the Texas Science & Natural History Museum or head over to the Harry Ransom Center  to see one of the world's 20 remaining Gutenberg Bibles and other artifacts. There are more than 40 noteworthy public sculptures located throughout campus, including the Red Steel Clock Knot located along Dean Keeton Street. Walk across the street directly South of the Blanton Museum and explore the Capitol Mall, which leads you directly to the Texas State Capitol . Or, head west to "The Drag" - a section of Guadalupe Street known for shopping, dining and music offerings. Find more Central Austin hotspots here  and learn more about the University of Texas at Austin (along with information about official tours) here .

UT’s colors are bright and energetic Orange, White, and a Smokey Gray – named after the official mascot, a Bluetick Coonhound.

About Knoxville

Being accepted to a school and compatibility with its programs is the priority for post-secondary education, but you might as well like where you’ll be living the next 4(+) years!  We describe ourselves as a-nature-loving-adventure-seeking-artsy-kinda-town because the city has so much to offer. It’s safe to say that Knoxville is much more than just a college town, although the University and its students bring such a vibrant culture to the city. Knoxville has about 190,000 residents with over 860,000 in the metro area, and some have described it as a friendly town with big city amenities. The Holston and French Broad Rivers conjoin just east of downtown to form the Tennessee River, and with the Smokies only 40 minutes away there’s no end to outdoor activities.  History buffs will find Historic Homes and Civil War sites to explore, and art enthusiasts will enjoy the vibe of “The Maker City”.  Knoxville has a warm temperate climate with cool to mild winters and hot and humid summers, so if you’re visiting in the spring, plan for layers and grab an umbrella. Check out our “ In the Neighborhood ” blog series to learn more about what makes different parts of town unique.

Tour the Campus

Since you’re here to see the campus, head over to UT Admissions to schedule an official tour. The University offers tours Monday-Friday at 8:30am, 9:30am, 12:30pm, and 1:30pm. Their Visitor Center is in the Student Union at 1502 Cumberland Avenue, Suite 282. Parking is available in the Vol Hall Garage located at 1545 White Avenue and parking validation will be provided when you check in on your tour. The campus visit begins with a 30-minute orientation session followed by a 90-minute walking tour. You’ll get a great overview of campus, academics, and student life. If you’d prefer a self-guided tour, you can do so here .

Knoxville Visitors Center

Speaking of visitor centers, while you are here in Knoxville touring UT, we would love for you to come down to 301 S. Gay Street to our own Visitors Center at Visit Knoxville. You’ll be greeted with a friendly staff who will be more than happy to answer all your Knoxville-related questions. At the Visitors Center, there are free maps and brochures available so you can get to know the area’s attractions. There is a Gift Shop filled with Knoxville-centric items, and many of them made by local Makers. Should you be around on Wednesday or Thursday, come in around noon for free live music with in-house Americana radio station, WDVX.

Experience Game Day

Looking to get a feel for how spirited an SEC school can really get? Consider a fall visit on a home game weekend and it’ll be hard to not become engulfed in the bright sea of orange Volunteers  . At full capacity, Neyland Stadium can hold 102,455 people, the 5 th largest football stadium in the U.S. and is only one of two universities to have a waterfront football stadium (University of Washington is the other). From our riverfront views of the ‘Vol Navy’, to shouting Rocky Top at the top of our lungs, to Smokey running through the orange and white checkerboard endzone, it’s an experience like no other. Check out our Guide to Gameday to plan your weekend win! https://www.visitknoxville.com/blog/post/national-college-colors-day/

Once you’ve fallen in love with Knoxville and the beautiful campus (we don’t blame you), you’ll want to start thinking about where you’re going to live. University Housing is more than just furniture, here you may find some of your lifelong friends and create lasting memories. Freshman are required to either live on campus or with a parent/guardian, and you can find more information on UT housing here. For those thinking about joining Fraternity or Sorority life, see if going Greek is the option for you. In addition to campus housing options, Knoxville offers a lot of off-campus student apartments .

We might be biased, but we’re proud to call Knoxville home and hope you can too. Read up on FAQs about the University and see what Knoxville has to offer in our Visitors Guide . Welcome and Go Vols!

"Utah’s location at the crossroads of the western United States means travelers enjoy easy access to The Greatest Snow on Earth®, The Mighty Five® national parks and everything in between. Without a several-week road trip, it’s hard to experience it all, so pick a region and itinerary to start with, then come back again and again."

Traveling Treasures

For more than 20 years, the Natural History Museum of Utah and  Zions Bank  have worked together on Traveling Treasures, a robust annual outreach partnership designed to bring the state museum of natural history, and its collections, into Utah’s diverse communities. Every year, a team of educators, exhibit designers, bank personnel, and museum volunteers together create a new traveling exhibit which explores an intriguing aspect of the natural history of the state, region, or planet.

During its time on the road each year, Traveling Treasures visits up to 12 cities and hosts family science festivals throughout the state. This community programming allows the Natural History Museum of Utah to connect with Utah’s communities statewide—from Vernal to Delta, and Logan to Kanab.

Traveling Treasures 2024: Defense Experts

Most organisms wouldn’t survive long without defense mechanisms to protect themselves from predators, the elements, and other dangers they encounter. Evolution has equipped living creatures with various surprising and effective defense strategies. Some build fortresses. Some intimidate. Some fight back. Some deceive. Defense plays a vital role in human cultures, too. We often reserve our highest respect for the people and beings that protect our communities. Explore fascinating stories of defense in this exhibit from the Natural History Museum of Utah, sponsored by Zions Bank.
