When in Houston…

While you’re visiting, feel at home and venture out to sample some of the best the nation’s fourth largest city has to offer. Go ahead. Be adventurous!
Getting around the Bayou City
Getting around in Downtown Houston is a cinch, and you don’t always have to hoof it! Hop on board the city’s free Green Link  buses, which run a 2.5-mile loop with 18 convenient stops, including two along Avenida de las Americas in front of the George R. Brown Convention Center.
Discover something new
They don’t call it Discovery Green for nothing! Right across the street from the George R. Brown Convention Center is a 12-acre emerald oasis with an amazing variety of activities. Discovery Green features a small lake, outdoor art installations, a jogging path, playgrounds, a dog run, performance spaces, restaurants, expansive lawns, and picnic areas.

Underground
Houstonians often head underground to escape the hustle, bustle, and heat of downtown. A series of interconnected tunnels six miles long can be accessed from the street at Wells Fargo Plaza or McKinney Garage on Main, or from special entrances within office buildings. What’s down there? With 95 connected city blocks, there are plenty of dining and retail options, but since they primarily serve the downtown workforce, closing time is usually 6 p.m.
