Houston travel guide

With a bayou at it heart, dozens of inspirational museums, a theatre district and a nightlife scene to be envied it’s hard to know where to start with Houston.

This is a city that is continually reinventing itself. It was once most famous as an oil boom town where the oil barons were king, it turned itself into Space City when NASA came to town. And now Houston's downtown is a pulsating entertainment and residential district where loft apartments sell for a premium.

Take time to explore. You are spoilt for choice with innovative attractions in the museum district; the arts are well catered for in the theatre district; nature lovers can enjoy a unique view of the city from its many open spaces; sport lovers just won't know where to start; foodies will be in their element; and those who require retail therapy can roam upmarket malls or quirky shops in the neighbourhoods.
