9 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.

Explore Houston's surroundings by going to Kemah Boardwalk (in Kemah), Alvin Historical Museum (in Alvin) and College Station (Kyle Field, Bonfire Memorial, &more). There's much more to do: catch a live event at Minute Maid Park, meet the residents at Downtown Aquarium, examine the collection at Space Center Houston, and explore the engaging exhibits at Children's Museum of Houston.
