BUS (CAPITAL METRO)

While finding parking in downtown Austin can be a challenge, finding a transit line that gets you there is easy! Try transit to and from the Long Center. It costs less than covered parking and you’ll avoid circling for a spot.

Nearby transit stops: Vic Mathias / Auditorium Shores Station, South 1st/Riverside, South 1st / Barton Springs, and Barton Springs Station.
Transit Routes: 1, 3, 7, 10, 20, 30, 801 and 803

Plan your bus route online or on your phone.

WALK

Walking to the Long Center from downtown is easy by simply taking Cesar Chavez to the First street bridge. Follow the pedestrian bridge across Town Lake and continue all the way to the front lawn on the Long Center.

BIKE

Bicycle parking is always available at the Long Center. As you approach the Long Center Parking Garage from Riverside Drive, there is a bike rack located to the right of the parking garage. Best of all, it’s free!
