Houston, alive with energy and rich in diversity, a dynamic mix of imagination, talent and
first-class attractions that makes it a world-class city. Houston is home to a vibrant economy,
beautiful surroundings and a population full of optimism and spirit that turned it from
swampland into the fourth-largest city in the U.S., a very popular international destination
in the south, near the Mexican Gulf.
Everything is big, from the towering skyscrapers to the city's prominence in business. Even the architecture makes big, bold statements. With a thriving business centre, the city has become increasingly cosmopolitan, with an influx of diverse ethnic groups and a strong emphasis on opera, ballet, symphony and theatre.
The midday heat is easily escaped inside the numerous attractions and shopping areas, particularly in the pedestrian-friendly 6.5-mile underground city.

And try one of the countless restaurants available, offering cuisines in everything from Tex Mex and South American to French and Middle Eastern.
We do love this city, where everything is big, and big is beautiful.
