24 days in Houston Itinerary

Although urban sprawl remains synonymous with Houston, most of the city's tourist attractions lie within the relatively small downtown area, surrounded by diverse neighborhoods housing the nation's biggest African-American, Asian-American, and Latino communities.

Get out of town with these interesting Houston side-trips: Brazos Bend State Park (in Needville), Fort Bend Museum (in Richmond) and League City (Walter Hall Park, Butler Longhorn Museum, &more). There's still lots to do: see the interesting displays at Space Center Houston, stroll the grounds of Glenwood Cemetery, engage your brain at The Houston Museum of Natural Science, and get engrossed in the history at 1892 Bishop's Palace.
