Houston

Big city energy, Texas-sized flavour and a rocket or two. 
If you're looking for subtle, this probably isn't it. The Space City goes big on just about everything. At NASA Space Center, you can walk beneath a Saturn V rocket, chat with an astronaut if you're lucky, and snap a selfie with a moon rock that makes your last holiday pic look pretty average. 

Things to do in the city go well beyond space. The Museum District delivers world-class art, science and culture. The zoo is one of the best in the country. And over in the Theater District, the shows are just as bold as everything else around here. 

Then there's the food. Grab tacos you'll compare every other taco to, brisket that deserves its own round of applause, and Viet-Cajun crawfish you didn't even know you needed. Ask a local where to eat and you'll get more recommendations than you can fit into a weekend. 

From murals and museums to rooftop cocktails and underground tunnels, this city knows how to keep things interesting. Looking for the best places to visit in Houston? Start anywhere, follow your appetite, and let the rest unfold. 

This place doesn't just fill your itinerary. It fills your plate, your camera roll and your plans to come back.
