The Best Places to Propose in Austin

Austin leans on the water and the hills. Sunset from a bluff or the lake path is the move, and spring and fall keep you out of the Texas heat.

Best time: Spring and fall, at sunset.

Mount Bonnell

The overlook is the highest point in the city, with the river curling below and the hills going gold at sunset.

Lady Bird Lake Boardwalk

The over-water walk gives you the downtown skyline across the lake, an easy stroll-and-ask.

Zilker Park

Wide lawns and the tree line make a relaxed daytime spot, with Barton Springs nearby to cool off.
