18 days in Houston Itinerary

Although urban sprawl remains synonymous with Houston, most of the city's tourist attractions lie within the relatively small downtown area, surrounded by diverse neighborhoods housing the nation's biggest African-American, Asian-American, and Latino communities.

You'll find plenty of places to visit near Houston: Blue Bell Creameries (in Brenham), Galveston (Schlitterbahn Galveston Island Waterpark, Galveston Naval Museum, &more) and Battleship Texas State Historic Site (in La Porte). There's still lots to do: engage your brain at The Houston Museum of Natural Science, explore the engaging exhibits at Children's Museum Houston, learn about wildlife with up-close encounters at Houston Zoo, and explore the world behind art at Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
