For sports, entertainment, dining, and nightlife, stay Downtown in the heart of Houston. While the district boasts a large share of the city sights, it also offers excellent links to explore other parts of central and greater Houston.
Of course, the Museum District, located south of Midtown, is an ideal area for those who want to spend their time delving more deeply into the history and culture of Houston, rather than the nightlife and entertainment.
For a more refined and relaxed Houston experience, head to River Oaks and Upper Kirby, situated a few kilometres west of Downtown Houston. Although both are considered some of the city’s most upscale neighbourhoods, River Oak has a family-oriented residential vibe, whilst Upper Kirby exudes a younger and more youthful atmosphere.
Situated in the urban centre next to Downtown, the artsy and alternative-looking Midtown and Montrose neighbourhoods will help you immerse in the creative and cultural side of the city. From its gay bars to its global eateries, Montrose in particular offers diversity and inclusivity.
Keen shoppers will have all the shops they could dream of on their doorstep in Galleria and Uptown, where the city’s spectacularly-appointed shopping centre is situated.
If the bright city lights aren’t your thing, opt for a change of scenery by staying in one of the quaint beach towns along Galveston Bay like Kemah or Seabrook. These are historic beach towns known for their historic seaside charm and fun-fill boardwalk.
Alternatively, stay in Galveston, a small beach-lined island that runs along the Texas Coast. The island is abundant with nature, scenery, sand, and seaside charm. With a train running directly into Downtown Houston, it’s easy to explore the city too,
Houston’s METRORail makes it easy to explore the city from your chosen accommodation. The city is also connected by bus and rail to the coast and Greater Houston area.
