6 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.

Venture out of the city with trips to Galveston (Tree Sculptures, The Strand, &more). There's lots more to do: get to know the resident critters at Houston Zoo, test your team's savvy at popular escape rooms, examine the collection at Space Center Houston, and get curious at The Houston Museum of Natural Science.
