Houston lands on the top of many lists: America's fastest growing city and its most culturally diverse, for example. With more arts organizations than any U.S. city other than New York, there's a vibrant creative scene here too. Houstonians eat out more than any other Americans, and they've got seemingly endless options to choose from in the city, from traditional Texas steakhouses to Tex-Mex.

There are so many places to visit in downtown Houston, but to experience it like a local, check out Montrose—one of the city's more unique and quirky neighborhoods—alive with cafes, vintage shops and galleries. The city's 19th Street is loaded with shops and restaurants, a place where the fast pace slows down. You'll never run out of things to do in Houston, a city of contrasts and boundless energy.
