The free tour of Texas State Capitol was well worth the effort. The guide was very knowledgeable and provided a really interesting tour. Not to be missed in you are in downtown Austin.

Only visited the grounds and saw the building from the outsde. We did this at night when the Capitol is well lit. It makes an impressive sight at night. Very nice grounds. Did not see the building inside. Saw a good size visitor center on the grounds. I have seen the Capitol in DC and other capitols in other cities,... More

This building is just amazing and to think that all the granite is from the town quarries. Just incredible... rivals the whitehouse.

I have seen better. I have seen worse. The grounds are nice, but they don't have any parking. I hear the the squirrels will eat nuts right out of your hand, but I did not try that.

I've been many times, but the beauty and history still amaze me every time. Just a few blocks down from all the shopping and bars. Best part is its free and very well air conditioned :)

Again a great place to visit. From the outside the building resembles St Pauls Cathedral in London. Join one of the guided tours (all timed)

Taller than the Whitehouse. Beautiful structure and architecture. Ha Ha! Learn the R-e-a-l history of Texas rather than the stereotype version.

Take the time go walk up to the top of the rotunda. The view is quite impressive. The grounds are lovely and the volunteers and staff all were extremely warm and helpful.

You should definitely plan to stop here on a visit to Austin. Beautiful building, informative visitors center. W had fun just walking around the grounds. There is free parking available in the visitors garage, which is a block away.
