Review of Houston
Houston
Catch flights to Houston for space simulators, custom boots and succulent steak dinners.
Things to do
Get a feel for anti-gravity space walks and interplanetary flights at Houston’s Space Center. Experience the thrill of space travel with high-tech spacecraft reproductions and robotic simulators, and then tour NASA’s authentic museum displays.
Shopping
The smell of leather fills the air at Tejas Custom Boots, a Houston favourite outfitting presidents, celebrities and ordinary people with custom-made cowboy boots. Choose just the colour and design you like and head home in true Texas style.
Restaurants
Dig into a thick, tender steak sprinkled with peppercorns and grilled to perfection at Brenner’s Steakhouse. Since 1936 this Texas favourite has satisfied Houston holiday visitors with mouth-watering steaks and their famous apple strudel.
Nightlife
Relax with a hot dog and beer alongside thousands of exuberant fans with tickets to Houston sporting events. With Astros baseball games in spring and summer, Texans football in autumn and Rockets basketball in winter, it’s always game day.
When to go
KLM has frequent flights to Houston. Plan your Houston city break around the city’s festive Independence Day celebrations in July or Thanksgiving parades and marching bands in November.
