Book Houston hotels

Were you a spacey kid? Maybe you just listened to “The Dark Side of the Moon” on loop at university (you know who you are). If that’s the case, you’re going to love Houston. Home to Space Center Houston, along with cowboys with big, swinging…uh, spurs, this is the place you want to see. Pack your boots, pick out your Houston accommodation and we’ll see you in Texas.

Things to Do in Houston

Embrace your spacey side when you visit Space Center Houston. What exactly do you see when you’re here? There’s Meet an Astronaut Friday, a full-scale replica of the Space Shuttle, an interactive exhibit dedicated to living in space and hundreds of artefacts like space suits and rocks. To quote Aristotle, it’s far out, man.

Speaking of things that are out there, wait till you see the paintings at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston. As one of the largest art museums in the United States, it’s full of truly crazy pieces that will put those old university posters to shame. Oh, and if you’re looking for some cowboy boots during your trip, hit up The Galleria, which has a ton of fancy stores, restaurants and even an ice skating rink (because why not?). Better pick a hotel in Houston that can hold all the souvenirs you’re going to buy.
