Find a cheap flight to Houston

As a city with over 5 million residents in its metro area alone, it's not surprising that Houston has a lot to offer. The city's two main airports are just 20 and 11 miles from downtown Houston, so no time is lost in exploring the largest city in Texas. Houston is a city of entertainment, and home to celebrities including Beyonce, Hilary Duff and ZZ Top. Visitors who are eager to be amused will find opera, ballet, music and theatre in the Theatre Houston District, where the Bayou Place entertainment complex is also located. Shopaholics can live their dream in the Galleria, an extensive shopping destination with over 375 stores, while sports fans can enjoy a game of hockey, baseball or basketball while cheering on the Houston Aeros, Astros or Rockets. Specialist interests are catered for at the Health Museum, Space Center Houston and Art Car Museum. Houston is not all about urban attractions however - the Downtown Aquarium, Houston Arboretum and Nature Center and the Houston Zoo are prime examples of a city in love with nature.

Texas is known for its scenes of natural beauty, and with more than 600 miles of coastline it would be a mistake not to take at least one trip to the beach. The more adventurous types can head for a trek through the Guadalupe Mountains, and try the traditional Texan lifestyle on ranches and rodeos such as the George Ranch Historical Park. Austin and Dallas more than merit a visit, but a real tour of Texas begins with a trip to Houston.
