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 (Galveston Railroad Museum, The Strand, &more). Next up on the itinerary: get curious at The Houston Museum of Natural Science, get up close and personal with brilliant marine life at Downtown Aquarium, test your team's savvy at popular escape rooms, and tee off at Hermann Park.
