Found in the heart of the south, Houston is a city full of vibrant culture. With more than 12,000 restaurants representing over 70 global cuisines, the city is touted by national publications. Food & Wine magazine has called Houston “America’s newest capital of great food” and The New York Times has termed the city as “one of the country’s most exciting places to eat.”

The city is also host to multiple premier theater venues, has 19 museums, and the Houston Grand Opera is the only opera company to win a Grammy, Emmy and Tony award.

Another local favorite is our sports, with four Houston major league teams – Astros, Texans, Rockets and Dynamo.

And don’t forget the shopping. We have world-class shopping centers with millions of square feet of retail space.

If you want to get a little fresh air, Houston has more than 500 parks and green spaces totaling over 52,000 acres. Whether you’re looking for a new city to discover or to visit some Texas favorites, your options are plentiful in Houston.
