Houston is a metropolis in a true sense of the word, and being in Texas, everything in Houston is bigger than anywhere else. Located on Galveston Bay, Houston is a powerful mix of super modern city, commercial and business center, science and space exploration, and beautiful, timeless architecture and art. Visiting the Space Center Houston, where NASA’s astronauts train, is a must, as is a visit to Minute Maid Park to catch a ball game. Stroll through the Historic District and enjoy beautiful 19th-century architecture and fancy restaurants. Try to catch a play at the Houston Grand Opera in the Theater District, visit the Museum of Fine Arts or Rothko Chapel in the Museum District . A pub crawl with the Old Town Houston Historic Pub Tour will show you a different side of Houston. Relax and take a deep breath at the beautiful Buffalo Bayou downtown park.
