Let the adventure begin. Downtown is home to some of Austin's most unique, unusual, eclectic, independent retail businesses. So if you haven't been browsing lately, you just don't know what your missing. There are more than 300 retailers in the Downtown area and others who are joining the neighborhood in leaps and bounds. Whether you are looking to outfit yourself, decorate your home, or give a loved one a unique and thoughtful gift, shopping in and around downtown at one of our many stores and boutiques can provide you with a fun and rewarding experience.

You don't have to look hard for unique home decorating ideas with stores such as Design Within Reach, Loft, Mercury, the Home Retreat or Wildflower. You can outfit yourself at By George, Estillo, Chicos, Anthropologie, REI, Cowboy Cool, or at one of the funky, fashionable stores on South Congress. Get a one-of-a-kind gift at Authenticity, Tesoros Trading Company, the Mexic-Arte gift shop or the other fabulous museum gift shops, the Old Bakery Emporium, Eclectic, or Tears of Joy Hot Sauce Company.   Looking for the perfect wedding ring, anniversary or graduation gift? Then head to Kruger's, or Koen and Son, both locally grown businesses who have been downtown for decades, or at one of our newer jewelers, Anthony Nak, or Eliza Page.   Find that great piece of art at one of the many wonderful art galleries such as Volitant, Kathy Womack Gallery, or Studio 107.   These and other exciting retailers with an independent spirit provide you one-of-a-kind shopping experience in the unique, vibrant setting of Downtown.
