Sometimes known as the City of Cowboys and Culture, Fort Worth is like an unpolished version of its neighbor Dallas. The Stockyards National Historic District attracts more visitors than any other part of the city. Its old wooden buildings make it look like the set of an old Western movie, but it offers plenty of modern restaurants, bars, and shops.

An impressive herd of Longhorn cattle is paraded through here twice daily.

Visitors should also make time to visit the pedestrian-friendly downtown, which boasts a 4.3-acre water park, a beautiful theater called the Bass Performance Hall, and an excellent array of dining options, many of which are actually dog friendly.
