Cotton Bowl Stadium

Downtown Dallas is the city’s central business district, recognised by its high-rise office buildings and cosmopolitan vibe. Of course, the district is very central, making it an ideal jumping off point to explore the city.

For the best of Dallas’ culture, stay in the Arts District where you’ll find everything from art museums to opera houses right on your doorstep.

The best of the city’s dining and nightlife can actually be found in neighbouring districts like Uptown, Lower Greenville, and Cedars. From trendy breweries to rustic rib joints and dive bars to live music venues, your only limit is your imagination.

However, the coolest joints are tucked away in Deep Ellum, which poses as a mural-adorned artsy neighbourhood during the day, and an alternative entertainment hub at night. Think indie bars, edgy art galleries, and underground theatres.

Known for its quaint parks, country clubs, designer shops, and high-end homes, Highland Park is undoubtedly Dallas’ most upscale neighbourhood. Located a few kilometres north of Downtown, it’s ideal for discerning travellers who want to find a refined respite in the city.

Of course, there are plenty of tempting alternative neighbourhoods to stay in Fort Worth, which is smaller and somewhat quieter than Dallas. Most of the action in Fort Worth is centred around the lively Sundance Square where you can shop, eat, drink, and even watch live street performers.

If you can’t choose between Dallas and Fort Worth, or just want the best of both worlds, why not stay between them in Central Arlington? Home to Six Flags, the AT&T Stadium, a waterpark, zoo, aquarium and more, it is the perfect spot for families to pitch up during their stay.

Whilst each city has its own public transport, it is best to hire a car to travel between them.
