Gate Bridge, wander around
Fisherman's Wharf, or hop on a
street car to explore the city sites.

and an unfathomable depth below is one of
the highlights of any trip in the United States.

some smaller cities in the vicinity, or
incorporated into a larger driving trip through
Arizona and surrounding states. A train trip

luxury hotels, and spend your evenings enjoying
incredible meals. Houston has developed into a
hot spot for dining in the United States and is now
well known for extraordinary cuisine.
If you want a relaxed but outdoor urban
experience, rent a bike and peddle your way
through the miles of paved trails in the parks or on
the downtown streets. Rent a kayak and paddle
along Buffalo Bayou in Buffalo Bayou Park.
