You could spend an entire vacation absorbing the world class art here—top cultural stops include the Menil Collection (Renzo Piano’s first U.S. building is part of a sprawling compound in the heart of a residential neighborhood), the Museum of Fine Arts and the Houston Museum of Natural Science. Beyond gallery walls, public art peppers parks like Discovery Green, and near Rice University at the awe-inspiring Skyspace, a free light installation by James Turrell.
Memorial Park and Hermann Park offer outdoor escapes in the heart of the city: boat rides, golf, kids’ attractions, tranquil gardens and al fresco dining. No matter what drew you to the city for your trip, rest assured you won’t run out of things to do in Houston while you’re here.
