Houston

Houston may be best known as the home of NASA and Space Center Houston, but the city offers far more than its space heritage. As the fourth largest city in the USA, Houston is one of the country’s most diverse and welcoming destinations, reflected in its vibrant neighbourhoods, thriving arts scene and world renowned fusion food culture. Visitors can explore the acclaimed Museum District, home to 19 museums and cultural institutions, alongside award winning theatre, ballet and opera companies. Sports also play a major role in the city’s identity, with Houston boasting major league teams across football, baseball, basketball and soccer. From luxury shopping at The Galleria to the trendy restaurants and nightlife of Montrose, Houston combines big city energy with authentic Southern hospitality, while also providing easy access to the beaches of the Gulf Coast and wider Texas road trip experiences.
