Dallas

What to Do 

Shopping is a sport in Dallas! Whether it's luxury brands you long for or a family-and budget-friendly spree, there's no shortage of retail adventures. From top shopping destinations like NorthPark Center, Highland Park Village and Galleria Dallas to smaller gems in neighborhoods like the Design District and Knox/Henderson, you'll head back home with plenty of new closet favorites. 

Texas is known for its take on barbecue. From the smoky meats to the savory sides, Dallas barbecue joints will satisfy your cravings and help you explore its best neighborhoods. From the Bishop Arts District to Deep Ellum, you'll get a taste of the best BBQ no matter where you go.

If live music is more your scene, there's no shortage of opportunities to check out a band or artist performance. Head to Granada Theater on Greenville Avenue in East Dallas to start. Check out Trees and The Bomb Factory for a night out, too. These venues epitomize the music history of the Deep Ellum neighborhood and showcase local, national and international artists on a weekly basis.

Dallas delivers BIG in the arts and culture scene thanks to the largest contiguous urban arts district in the country. Start your visit in the center of the Dallas Arts District (there's several museums with free admission!) before venturing out into other neighborhoods. From galleries in the Bishop Arts District to street art in Deep Ellum, there's something in every corner of the city.
