4 days in Houston & Reno 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.

Venture out of the city with trips to Galveston (The Strand, Moody Gardens, &more). There's lots more to do: get curious at The Houston Museum of Natural Science, look for all kinds of wild species at Cockrell Butterfly Center, meet the residents at Houston Zoo, and let little ones run wild at Discovery Green.
