Things to do in Houston

The nation’s fourth-largest city is always surprising, endlessly diverse, and more than 1.9 million people call it home.  Houston is a city of innovators and entrepreneurs, a hub of international business and high-tech breakthroughs and a home for lush landscapes and award-winning theatre.
Houston can be divided neatly into three major areas.  One is its very modern downtown, including the theatre district, another is the area a couple of miles south of downtown, where some of the southwest’s leading museums are found along with Rice University and the internationally renowned Texas Medical Centre.  Finally, there is the thriving shopping and business centre west of downtown, known as both the Galleria and Uptown.
You may want to start your exploring by taking in the entire urban panorama from the observation deck of the 75-storey Chase Tower and view Texas Avenue and Tranquillity Park.  A cool, human-scale oasis of fountains and diagonal walkways amongst the skyscrapers, built to commemorate the first landing on the moon by Apollo 11 mission.
After visiting the city’s premier shopping area of Galleria, head towards Bayou Place, Houston’s newest entertainment complex, a hub of evening activity with restaurants, clubs and the Angelika Film Centre, a sophisticated SoHo spin-off with independent and foreign films and before-or-after theatre gourmet dining.
Houston is one of the few cities in the US with four resident performance companies, which stage shows at Jones Hall, Alley Theatre and Wortham Theatre Centre.  Or slightly further afield, visit the Grand 1894 Opera House in Galveston, where performances of various kinds are held year-round and where the celebrated Sarah Bernhardt and Anna Pavlova both performed on the storied stage.
