Avoid Visiting During A Festival

Unless you’ve specifically come to town to attend one of the big festivals, avoid visiting Austin during the SXSW in March where tens of thousands of artists flock to the city to promote their business in the music and film industries. Not only does crowd control become a problem at this time, but prices of hotels also rise as their availability drops. October is another extremely busy month with the Austin City Limits Music Festival drawing a multitude of music enthusiasts to the Zilker Park, the Austin Film Festival bringing in panels of screenwriters and directors, and the Circuit of the Americas Grand Prix attracting fans who travel to every race.

Furthermore, Austin has a small airport that you can expect to find packed during any of these festivals. It is going to be stressful squeezing through the airport aisles to the exceedingly crowded streets of the city. You can also anticipate airfares to cost twice as much compared to other days of the year.
