Greenbelt entrance that involves a strenuous hike in and out (hence "hill of life"). I love this entrance, local spot with less tourists. It gets crowded though, especially in the afternoon, and it can tend to be rowdy with music and potentially other things :)

It used to be one of the best parts of Austin. It is still cool but has gotten wildly touristy and lots of the cool spots got torn down. I prefer the East Side. Known by locals for being full of bachelor and bachelorette parties. Used to be chill but it is not anymore, kind of like an extension of Dirty 6th.

East Side=Hipster, laid back bar scene with lots of live music. East of I35 on 6th street. My favorite area. Full of character, lots of fun, great bars, something for everyone. Gets rowdier later in the evening. Dirty 6th=West of I35. It is wild, tourist filled part of Austin that you've got to experience at least once but preferably after several drinks. The underpass between these two streets is sketchy.
