South Congress at a glance

Transit, walkability and commute
The stretch of South Congress between the river and Oltorf Street is one of Austin’s most walkable shopping and dining streets. Farther south, buildings are more car-oriented. CapMetro buses run along South Congress Avenue; check CapMetro’s trip planner for current routes. By car, I-35, Ben White Boulevard and Congress Avenue itself lead downtown, and drive times vary with traffic, so test your route at the hour you would travel.
Parks, dining and shopping
- Parks: Lady Bird Lake and its hike-and-bike trail, Auditorium Shores, Big Stacy and Little Stacy parks in Travis Heights.
- Dining and shopping: the SoCo strip of boutiques, restaurants, food trailers and music venues north of Oltorf Street, plus newer retail around St. Elmo and the south corridor.
