Bright lights, big personalities, shiny cars... In many ways, Dallas is the belle of the Texas ball. From JR Ewing and the TV show Dallas to the Dallas Cowboys and their cheerleaders, this city has made a deep imprint on American popular culture. An upscale ethos makes for an amazing dining scene. The museums are not only excellent, but unique – history buffs should not miss the memorials to former president John F Kennedy. And one of the most impressive additions to Dallas’ cultural landscape in recent years is the 68-acre Arts District, now one of the largest in the country. You can’t forget about Texas Barbeque either! No bones about it: Texas barbecue is an obsession. Line up with the hordes for large helpings of slow-cooked beef brisket, pork ribs and spicy sausage doused in spicy-sweet barbecue sauce at some of the city’s best, including Sammy’s BBQ and Pecan Lodge.

Austin is the state capital of Texas, an inland city bordering the Hill Country region. Austin is by any standards a big city but somehow the state capital has kept its small-town heart. Residents of Austin are known as Austinites. They include a diverse mix of government employees, college students, musicians, high-tech workers, blue-collar workers, and a vibrant LGBT community. The city's official slogan promotes Austin as "The Live Music Capital of the World," a reference to the city's many musicians and live music venues. The city easily earns its title with two music festivals, South by Southwest (SXSW) and the Austin City Limits Festival, earn international acclaim, but quality live performances go down every single night in one of the countless clubs, bars and restaurants.

Houston is a large metropolis in Texas, extending to Galveston Bay. It’s closely linked with the Space Center Houston, the coastal visitor center at NASA’s astronaut training and flight control complex. The city’s relatively compact Downtown includes the Theater District, home to the renowned Houston Grand Opera, and the Historic District, with 19th-century architecture and upscale restaurants. It is a Laid-back, pick-up truck and boot-scooting town that meets high-powered, high-cultured and high-heeled metropolis. Houston encompasses everything you’d expect to find in the Lone Star State, and plenty more besides. It is the energy capital of the world and said to enjoy the nation’s highest standard of living. Its museums – especially the Menil Collection and the associated Rothko Chapel – are extraordinary, while the dining and entertainment scenes are renowned across the region.

One of the most attractive of Texas’ major cities – and the oldest too, having celebrated its 300th birthday in 2018 – San Antonio continues to delight visitors. The legendary Alamo, symbol of Texan independence, stands at the very heart of the city, while the River Walk, a glorious network of waterside pathways that’s tucked below street level and lined with bars and restaurants, offers leisurely strolling through downtown and beyond. Add historic buildings ranging from tumbledown mission churches to repurposed industrial landmarks, some fabulous parks and museums, and a truly cosmopolitan mix of peoples and cultures, and you can see why San Antonio is currently the fastest-growing city in the US.
