It is also a part of the Greater Austin, with the county seat being Austin. One aspect of the county that cannot be missed is that it is home to various springs, such as the Coleman Springs, Santa Monica or Sulphur Springs and Spicewood Springs to name a few. The county also includes a part of the Balcones Canyonlands, a reserved area for the conservation of endangered species. The state capital Austin is also situated in this county.
Austin offers many interesting destinations to a first-time traveler, like the 311 feet high Capitol Building. The admission to this spot is absolutely free, and usually guided tours are provided for visitors. Another place to be checked out is the biggest urban bat colony in North America. The spectators can have a look at more than 1.5 million Mexican free tailed bats usually at the time of sunset. Austin and the Travis County proudly boast of the very famous University of Texas in the city, which is one of the oldest universities in the state and possesses a huge underground tunnel system. The university is one of the few universities which attract huge federal research grants.
Mount Bonnell, standing tall at 780 feet above sea level overlooking Lake Austin, is one of the famous tourist spots in Austin, which is made of natural limestone.
