| Downtown Austin On Town Lake |
Austin, the capital of the Friendship State, draws couples to its hot spots like bees to honey. Its climate and spectacular landscapes lure adventurous romantics to traverse its trekking paths or soak in the untamed glory of nature's beauty.
One such mystical place is Mount Bonnell, where legend has it that if a couple ascends the one hundred steps to its summit, Cupid strikes. The second time around they are engaged, and then the third seals their love in marriage. An ancient story of a couple jumping off the mountain to avoid being captured by Native Americans, adds a certain dash of spice to the magic that surrounds these heights.
For the young and the restless, Austin is an explosion of activity. Coffee shops play an important part on the dating scene and coupled with its historical landmarks, this city portrays an eclectic aura.
Hop on aboard the quaint green "Dillos (Capitol Metro Downtown Shuttle) to explore the downtown area, absolutely free. Woo your love at the Paramount Theater, a short distance from the State Capitol. From the old classics to plays and movie premiers, this star-studded experience can bring home the prize.

Waterloo Park |
For quiet picnics by the water, Waterloo Park boasts of many a meandering trail, carpets of grass, and plenty of foliage. Speaking of foliage, Treaty Oak, a legendary Texan symbol, still stands after many threats to its existence. It can inspire any warm-blooded romantic to forge on against all odds.
This "Live Music Capital of the World" lays claim to the most live music shows in one evening (around 150). From country to rock, it seems to say, "If music be the food of love-play on!"
