Houston Hotels and Traveler's Guide

Go to Texas and go big by visiting Houston, a sprawling city that covers more land than any other city in the US and is larger than some countries. With all this space, it's no wonder that this city is full of surprises. Houston is fun in the summer for those who can stand the heat and has milder weather during the rest of the year which can be especially nice in the winter when it gets cold up north.

If you're looking for things to do in Houston, you don't need to look much further than its downtown area. Here you'll find towering skyscrapers and the beautiful Sam Houston Park. Another fun destination in Houston, for kids and adults alike, is the NASA Space Center. You can take a behind-the-scenes tour and see how the complex process of launching rockets into space is actually achieved. Houston runs the gambit of attractions, from museums to amusement parks to the Galleria, which is the fifth largest mall in America.

April is a great time to visit Houston, when the city hosts a number of festivals. It's also around this time that the Houston Astros begin their season. And no matter what time of the year you visit, it's more than worth your time to stop and have dinner at one of their many acclaimed restaurants, whether you're looking to try some of their unexpected abundance of gourmet cuisine or want to fill up on some fantastic tex-mex and barbeque.
