The most populous city in the southern United States, Houston boasts a wealth of cultural and ethnic diversity for you to explore. A large part of the reason for the size and diversity of the city is its thriving economic base that includes major industrial processes, manufacturing, transportation, medical, and aeronautics companies. Houston is even home to the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center, NASA’s center for human spaceflight training, research, and mission control.
The rich industrial sector has drawn people from all over the world to Houston, leading it to be sometimes described as the most racially and ethnically diverse major metropolis in the U.S. All of that diversity brings with it amazing cultural and artistic opportunities to explore. Nearly seven million visitors a year flock to the museum district of Houston. You can visit cultural mainstays like Space Center Houston with its vast collection of space artifacts, the Houston Museum of Natural Sciences with must-see fossil and jewelry collections, or the Rothko Chapel that houses some of the artist’s must significant pieces in a tranquil setting.
There’s so much to see and do in Houston that you may want to consider booking an extended trip. Beyond the world-class museums, there’s much more to discover. Nearby Galveston Bay features an inspiring historic district, beachfronts, and amazing architecture. The Chinatown district is rich with epicurean delights to be enjoyed as you stroll around serene lily ponds and gardens. For more Bohemian types, the Montrose district of Houston is a neon-clad assortment of funky coffeehouses, experimental art galleries, off-beat boutiques, and more. The Buffalo Bayou is an urban oasis that boasts hundreds of acres of riverfront parkland. No matter what your taste or style, you’re sure to find a niche that suits you perfectly in Houston.
