Most all the travelers I meet who have “done Austin,” like it and consider the city one of the most enjoyable of the state of Texas to visit.  Not only is it the Capitol, but it is just an interesting city due to the University of Texas atmosphere the student create, or the fact that is it is the “Nashville of Texas music.”
