Dallas and Fort Worth vacations aren't for visitors pining for big-sky solitude. Though both cities started as hardscrabble trading posts, today they are a double shot of fast-paced business and decadence with distinctly Texan flair. Book a Dallas/Fort Worth vacation package and be sure to include a rental car. Texans believe driving is a birthright and their lack of public transportation proves it.
Saddle up for the fun and start your adventure in the Big D. Skip the over-hyped Deep Ellum and West End areas and mosey over to Greenville Avenue, where the well-heeled nibble sushi while hipsters sip Lone Stars. Then indulge in luxe shopping at the Galleria, cheer on the Cowboys, or admire masterpieces at the Dallas Museum of Art.
No Dallas vacation is complete without a trip to Fort Worth, known as "Cowtown." Get your lay of the land in Sundance Square and dine outdoors, enjoy live music, and shop. Don't miss the twice-daily cattle drive through downtown and catch some real ropin' and ridin' at Billy Bob's, the World's Largest Honky Tonk. Love highfalutin fun? Swing by the Kimbell Art Museum. Thanks to wealthy donors, the museum boasts a world-class collection.
