Houston is a world-class city that has something for everyone. The largest city in Texas and the fourth largest in the United States, this is a diverse, exciting community offering a large number of business and social opportunities. Our economy is thriving, our downtown is flourishing and our parks and neighborhoods are inviting. And our city is fun.
Downtown Houston is thriving. Houstonians are eagerly embracing a revitalized downtown. This urban comeback has resulted in a virtual explosion of dining and entertainment options in the heart of the City. The opening of the Bayou Place complex has especially generated excitement because it provides a variety of restaurants and entertainment options in one facility. And this is just one of the places to visit in downtown.
The Downtown Historic District, in the north end of downtown, has many of Houston's oldest and architecturally unique buildings, some dating back to the 1860s.
More than 50 shops, restaurants and clubs are housed in these buildings, all within easy walking distance of each other.
