It’s said that everything is bigger in Texas and that’s certainly true when it comes to fun and adventures in Dallas. A vibrant and diverse city, a Dallas holiday is bursting with things to see, do and devour. Start in the Dallas area, specifically the Bishop Arts District, where you'll be greeted with trendy boutiques, art galleries and some of the best restaurants in the city. For a hefty dose of culture, wander around one of the many museums, including the world-famous JFK Museum, which chronicles the life and legacy of President John F. Kennedy (including the somber site where he was assassinated in 1963), or the Nasher Sculpture Center, where you can admire an incredible collection of contemporary sculptures and installations. If there’s three things the folk in Dallas take seriously, it’s live music, Texas BBQ and the Dallas Cowboys – so be sure to carve out some time to fully appreciate all three. If you’re lucky, you might be able to catch a game at the Cowboys’ new home AT&T Stadium. Thrill-seekers, if it’s hair-raising adventures you seek, head over to Six Flags Over Texas, an amusement park with dozens of rides and attractions for all ages. After all of that excitement, you’ll be in need of a good night’s rest and thankfully, when it comes to hotels, Dallas delivers with a wide range of options from budget to bougie.
