Whether you're looking for fabulous gifts, original toys or clothing, it can be found at 26 Doors, located in the heart of mid-town Austin. The shopping center is an Austin original since 1976. Great boutiques such as Adelante and Bell & Bird are here. The pretty central plaza with its bronze sundial is a perfect meeting place for friends, family and kids. Scott and Linda Storm opened the adobe-styled shopping center in 1976 and decorated the courtyard with artifacts from central Mexico: ox-cart wheels, carved stone bocks and pottery. But the signature features of the center were the twenty six 200-year old hand-carved wooden doors that adorned each of the shops. It is from these doors that the center took its name: 26 Doors.

- Best Shopping: "After shopping, grab a bite to eat at Santa Rita Tex-Mex Cantina, or some gelato at Teo's."
- Recommended as Best Shopping Because: This is a smaller, more low-key neighborhood shopping center that has been part of Austin for decades.
