Houston Vacations, Tourism & Travel Information

Overview

The 4th largest city in the U.S., Houston is well known as the home of big oil and gas. While it doesn't normally draw travelers to the same degree as Austin, there's plenty to do and see in Houston that won't soon be forgotten. Definitely check out the NASA Space Center, which invites patrons to inhabit the NASA space experience with unparalleled access. Also, shopping, eating and live music abound in the Houston area, with plenty of options for everyone's tastes. There are several world-class golf courses in the Houston area as well - just beware of the summertime humidity, which Houston has in spades.
