WHAT TO VISIT IN HOUSTON 

Houston downtown corridor, with its magnificent glass-metal towers is an obligatory visit. Institutions, museums, galleries, theatres and entertainment, restaurants and malls are the trademark of downtown. 

But there is also the Museum District and the Rice University district (with dozens of high ranked museums and galleries), theAstrodome (the famous acclimatized stadium), the Galleria hyper-mall in the west border of downtown, the Montrose, a bohemian-cultural-entertainment district (see the Houston Press for information on nightlife and entertainment in Houston), or theNasa Johnson Space Center, 25 miles south of the city.

BEST TIME TO VISIT HOUSTON, TEXAS

Houston is a year-round destination, but Summer isn’t decidedly the best season to visit it, if you consider the weather issue and want to avoid heat and humidity. Summers tend to be too hot and too humid, with often violent (though brief) thunderstorms, strong winds and heavy rain (especially in late summer). Besides, we shouldn’t forget: Houston is in the hurricane region...

Spring and Fall are much better times to visit Houston. Temperatures are usually very agreeable in these seasons.

Winter is also a good season to go to Houston. Days tend to be mild, without violent or harsh weather conditions.
