Highlights of its more than 63,000 works include Italian Renaissance and French Impressionist paintings, American and European decorative arts, a notable collection of African and pre-Columbian gold, and numerous fine sculptures. If you are serious about exploring the museum, it's advisable to take a tour."

"Nearby Bayou Bend Collection and Gardens is the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston’s home museum for American paintings and decorative arts and boasts one of the best collections of American silver and ceramics.

"The vibrancy of Hermann Park, which celebrated its centennial in 2014, comes from the six million visitors who come every year, all entering past a giant statue of Sam Houston. You can spend an entire day here; Hermann Park is home to the Houston Zoo, situated in the middle of the 445-acre spread, the Miller Outdoor Theatre (a free performing-arts venue), a Japanese Zen garden, an 18-hole golf course, bird-watching, and the scenic McGovern Centennial Gardens. For fishing enthusiasts, there's a lake filled with bass and catfish."

"There are a lot of great things to see and do in Houston’s Museum District (also called Museum Park), but Hermann Park tops the list. The space is home to some of the city’s favorite attractions—including the Houston Zoo and Miller Outdoor Theatre—as well as splash pads, a golf course, playgrounds, and a jogging trail. Both the Japanese gardens and the McGovern Centennial Gardens are a favorite place for family outings and photoshoots, and kids love to ride the Hermann Park Railroad or fly kites on the hill behind Miller."

"Making great art accessible to all, the Menil Collection exhibits a captivating array of ancient and modern art that's free for public viewing.

The Menil also presents new, rotating exhibitions throughout the year."

"Or check out the Menil Collection, a campus full of art by the likes of Cy Twombly and Dan Flavin, among other creators. This carefully curated collection is an absolute must for any art lovers visiting the city, and even those not as interested in art are sure to find pieces that speak to them."

"A wonderland for artsy-cool captures, the museum is part of the Houston Museum District. What we really love, though, is the Dan Flavin neon installation in Richmond Hall. Oh, and admission is free."

"A post shared by Titianna Richards (@trinitistudioshtx) on Dec 24, 2019 at 7:28am PST. Romantic review: “Located in the Galleria area, the Gerald D. Hines Waterwall Park is a great place to relax, people watch, and enjoy the scenery...The Waterwall itself provides great photo opportunities for out of town visitors as well as locals. Sometimes there are even people taking professional photos for engagements, weddings, and other special occasions."

"Formerly known as the the Williams Waterwall, this cascading 64ft fountain lined by live oaks works as both a guaranteed-like Instagram shot and a way to stay cool in the summer. Bonus knowledge: the sculptural fountain was designed by the same guys who did Houston’s Pennzoil Place and NYC’s former AT&T World Headquarters."

"In the Galleria, take pictures by the giant wall of water or by the giant trees the line the park."

"This bustling New Orleans restaurant is a scene-setter for sinister nights with its old-school elegance and big time. Start with a selection from their award-winning wine list and then move on to some Creole classics. We recommend sizzling soup to begin with; count on us."

"The Wooster’s Garden crew got things right when they opened this younger sibling. You’ll want to check off visits to worthy sibling establishments Heights Bier Garten and Worcester's Annex in the Heights and the aforementioned Wooster’s in Midtown, too."

"For a striking and unusual background to your photos, visit the open-air museum known as Graffiti Park. This is a cluster of buildings on Leeland Street covered in elaborate graffiti. The art changes from one year to the next, but you can always be sure that there will be something there that will make for a good picture.Where: 2102 Leeland St, Houston, TX 77003"

"If you're a fan of photography, street art or selfies then put aside some time to spend at Graffiti Park, near the downtown area of Houston. Here incredibly talented artists spray paint political messages and stunning designs. The area is a magnet for photographers and Instagrammers because of the variety of designs and the colours."

"7pm Watch a Basketball Game In a Suite at Toyota Stadium Watching live sports is quintessential American past-time and Houston's Toyota Stadium is one of the best locations to watch basketball from. The game itself is full of entertainment whether it be the basketball players, music, cheerleaders, canons shooting t shirts or tiny parachutes raining down on guests with sponsor vouchers. Honestly, for someone that doesn't really follow a lot of sport, this was one of the best experiences I've had (maybe I have an inner sports fan?)."

"Or, if you’re in the city at the right time, check out rockets of a different kind and experience a Houston Rockets game at the Toyota Center and help Houstonians cheer on their home team. The Omni Houston Hotel concierge team contributed to this article."
