Finding Fun in Austin

The best way to get a quick idea on the kinds of fun you can get into in Austin is through our social media sites.

Top Trip Rentals social media team posts on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest (tons of ideas tagged!), and Instagram.

My personal favorite account? Pinterest. Why? Choose any Austin  experience you want, scroll through those images, and see what catches your eye.

Also, the Top Trip Rentals website blog has a ton of information. You can wander through the posts  to discover whether anything we’ve written about strikes your fancy. The blog is where you’ll also find good-to-know updates on everyday (but important) items, like where to park in downtown Austin, festival tips, and all kinds of local “insider” information.

 

Top Trip Recommends

Top Trip Rentals card listing Top 5 favorites for BBQ in Austin

We regularly compile lists of our favorite things: these are written on our “Top 5″ cards.

These bright yellow bits of Austin love are archived on Pinterest (Austin’s Top 5). Each list has a simple yet descriptive title that organizes our recommendations: the best beer, BBQ (shown left), breakfast spots, coffee houses, local pools, and so on.

You’ll definitely want to try, visit, or experience these while you’re in ATX.

And you know what? We’d love for you to share YOUR “Top 5” with us once your visit is complete. Tag your post with #goplaystay on any of our Top Trip Rentals social media sites.
