8 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.

Get out of town with these interesting Houston side-trips: Galveston (The Strand, The Seawall, &more) and Kemah Boardwalk (in Kemah). There's still lots to do: see the interesting displays at The Houston Museum of Natural Science, walk around Buffalo Bayou Park, test your team's savvy at popular escape rooms, and explore the engaging exhibits at Children's Museum Houston.

To see where to stay, more things to do, and tourist information, refer to the Houston trip planner.
