Greetings, As Governor of Texas, I am pleased to extend a warm welcome to visitors of Austin. Whether you are traveling for business or for pleasure, and whether you have come from another country, another state or just another town, Austin offers a wealth of attractions to explore and enjoy. The capital city of Texas, Austin is known around the world for its vibrant arts scene, urban lakes, outstanding public parks, world-class golf courses, extensive hike and bike trails, and close proximity to the breathtaking Texas Hill Country. Best of all, these attractions can be enjoyed year-round, as the area enjoys a temperate climate and about 300 days of sunshine every year. And no trip to Austin would be complete without extensive sampling of the city’s outstanding cuisine. From mouthwatering barbecue to juicy steaks to spice Tex-Mex, you’ll find some of the most delicious food you’ve ever sunk a tooth into. While you’re in town, make sure to stop by our beautiful and historic Texas State Capitol -- the largest state capitol in the nation. First Lady Anita Perry joins me in wishing you a wonderful time in Austin.
Sincerely,
Rick Perry, Governor 6
