We'd heard great things about Austin but they weren't obvious from first impressions. Famed for its live music scene, we think it must come alive at night. The city is also known for something else that comes alive at night - bats. Thousands take to the skies at sunset, leaving their home from under a bridge right in the middle of the city, watched by crowds who gather every night to see the amazing sight.
