Even though Houston has a relatively small downtown area, it is packed with exciting things you can do while you’re in town. If you’re in the mood for a cultural outing, head to the Theater District where you are sure to find a play or a music performance you’d enjoy, or check out the Museum District that boasts more than 20 different museums and galleries.

Louisville



A mecca for fans of sports, Louisville holds the honor of being the birthplace of many sports legends.

Another top highlight from the city is Churchill Downs, where the famous Kentucky Derby is hosted. Contrary to what people might imagine, the racing track is actually quite idyllic, and if there is one place you must visit in Louisville, this is probably the one.

This cavern system was created out of a 19th-century limestone quarry and it features the world’s only underground zip line course.
