(It’s located on the side of Jo’s Coffee, btw!) I adore finding fun new colorful walls in Austin that I can use to fill my instagram feed, or take my guests and friends on a little tour of all the famous murals in Austin. I’m obsessed.

Whether you’re planning a trip to Austin and need things to do, or you’re a local like me and you just want to find some fun Austin murals for photo opportunities, this guide will show you where all the best ones are.
