About Buda

Breathe Easy Here

An inviting, friendly community with small-town charm and plans for the future! We are an oasis of relaxation at the edge of civilization, unspoiled by the pace of Austin and San Antonio’s big city ways.

Discover Buda

Buda, Texas is located 15 miles south of Downtown Austin along the I-35 Corridor in the Texas Hill Country region. Visitors will find it convenient to stop at our destinations along I-35, but will experience the true heart of Buda just off the beaten path of the interstate in Downtown Buda.


Incorporated in 1881 as a small railroad stop serving the International and Great Northern Railroad, Buda has grown from its humble beginnings to a thriving community that stays true to its small town charm and heritage.
Buda is home to numerous businesses and attractions to meet the needs of even the most discerning visitors. The historic downtown shopping district provides unique and traditional experiences, the Historic Stagecoach House and Park transports you back into Buda’s early history and modern shopping destinations, such as Cabela’s, to serve your needs and interests.
Buda offers five modern hotel accommodations, a bed and breakfast set in nature, meeting and special event venues, unique local restaurants, a diverse shopping experience and a number of cultural and historic attractions. Come experience our local charm and relaxing atmosphere.

Outdoor Capital of Texas

With more parkland per capita than any city in the state, the Texas State Legislature named Buda, Texas the Outdoor Capital of Texas. There are many outdoor recreational opportunities including:

• Historic Stagecoach Park: a 54-acre nature park with walking trails and scenic features
• Buda City Park: where festivals and events take place
• Jackson Tyler Norris Memorial Skate Park
• Buda Sportplex: for baseball, softball and other sporting events

There are eight other designated parks with green spaces and playscapes throughout the City to enjoy. Explore the hike and bike trails along our scenic parks and natural areas with wildflower meadows.
Thorough planning has allowed the city to maintain such a significant amount of open space and parkland. These characteristics help make Buda a truly special community and helped us receive the designation as a “Certified Scenic City.”

We are also home to a Cabela's. Start your outdoor and recreational adventure off right with a visit to the World's Foremost Outfitters.
