Houston - Don't Miss
Immerse yourself in some of the foundations of Houston's culture – oil, art and beer.
Discover the science of removing Texas's black gold, oil, from the ground and turning it into thousands of everyday products, and marvel at dazzling gems, at the Museum of Natural History. Lust after the finest in antique European furniture and accessories at the Rienzi Centre for Decorative Arts – housed, very appropriately, in a mansion in the city's most affluent neighbourhood, River Oaks.
Meander through the sculptures of the Buffalo Bayou Art Park or commune with a higher being at Rothko Chapel. Finally, contemplate the unique minds that worship the orange and lifted quite a few brews at the Orange Show and the Beer Can House, respectively.
"Houston" was the first word spoken by astronaut Neil Armstrong as he landed the lunar module on the moon on 20 July 1969. "Houston, Tranquillity base here. The Eagle has landed."
