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.

Venture out of the city with trips to Galveston (The Seawall & Dolphin & Whale Watching) and Helen's Garden (in League City). There's lots more to do: test your problem-solving skills at popular escape rooms, take an in-depth tour of Holocaust Museum Houston, wander the streets of Chinatown, and have fun and explore at Children's Museum Houston.
