The city is made up of various districts, each with their own unique personality and charm. Discovering everything that Dallas has to offer may take more than one trip, but you can guarantee you’ll be welcomed back with the same warmth and enthusiasm, no matter how often you visit.

Tourist attractions

Dallas has a wealth of museums, from the Dallas Museum of Art to the new Perot Museum of Nature and Science (hugely popular, so book your tickets in advance to ensure you can get in). The most infamous is perhaps the Sixth Floor Museum at the Texas Book Depository, from where Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated President Kennedy in 1963.

Another unusual museum is the Museum of Geometric and MADI Art, which focuses on digital art rather than more traditional paintings and sculpture.

Dallas loves its sports, and if you get a chance to catch an American football game during your stay then head to the AT&T Stadium in Arlington to watch the Dallas Cowboys play.

There are also arenas for the NBA team the Dallas Mavericks at the American Airlines Center in Downtown Dallas, where you’ll also find the Dallas Stars ice hockey team.

There are plenty of open spaces in this modern city, and a great place to relax for a while is the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens along the south banks of White Rock Lake in East Dallas.
