Barbecue and music are some of the things that first come to mind when someone mentions Austin, as it is home to award-winning barbecue restaurants and live music events. But there’s so much more Austin has to offer. This capital city’s local art scene draws in tourists because of its top-notch museums, awe-inspiring wall art along the streets, and magnificent paintings and sculptures in a number of galleries. On top of that, Austin is home to plenty of pet-friendly attractions, ranked fourth in a list of the most pet-friendly cities in the country. You’ll also spot several dog-friendly restaurants in the city where you can enjoy a meal with your fur pals. If you’re planning to bring Fido along but clueless about where to stay, check the list below for the best pet-friendly Airbnbs in Austin, Texas.
