Texas is a unique state, and Dallas is its most visited city. It's a wonderful place to go for a whole vacation or just a week-end. Tourists find many things to see and do there. The Trinity river is near and many of its creeks and tributaries run through the city. You can walk the river paths and view oak trees, as well as cottonwood and pecan.
Dallas is a financial and business hub for the southwest United States. Dallas claims to be one of the busiest convention cities in the States, with a variety of hotels to fit everyone's budget. The downtown core boasts several luxury hotels with easy access to the Dallas convention center. For those interested in hotels away from the hustle and bustle of downtown, there are a number of elegant hotels in the suburbs or near the airport.
Dallas may be a big financial city but this doesn’t mean that you won’t find a great amount of culture and art here as well. There are many museums and art galleries that you can visit during your stay in Dallas. One of the more prominent museums that is a must see is the African American Museum that is located at Fair Park. A walk through this museum will keep you busy as you look at the many displays and exhibits, which feature a huge collection of African folk art and contemporary art. You’ll walk away with a better understanding of African American heritage and culture.
If you've brought your children, be sure to take them to visit the Dallas Children's Museum. It will be a great hands-on experience in various real- life scenarios. They feature a farm, hospital, grocery store and firehouse. When you are through playing, you can show them some other cultural displays before you return to the city.
Of course, no trip is complete without doing some shopping. If you love clothes, you will adore the second hand designer clothes created by Armani, Donna Karan and Emanual. Sports lovers will also love Dallas. There are terrific golf courses to challenge you. Later you will dine in one of the many great Dallas restaurants.
Visit Dallas any time of year and you'll keep busy. The blend of big city and southwestern charm are a big draw, and you'll want to come back for more.
