Much like Nashville, Austin-Bergstrom International Airport has live music performances throughout the day, celebrating its city’s title as the Live Music Capital of the World. Layovers here feel like a mini-trip to Austin, with local barbecue joints, Tex-Mex eateries, and craft beer bars giving travelers an authentic taste of Texas. AUS also boasts a free outdoor patio, where travelers can enjoy fresh air and Texas sunshine between flights. With a laid-back vibe and a strong focus on local culture, AUS is one of the most enjoyable airports to pass through.
