Things to do
You can travel back to Dallas' beginnings in the West End, where a settler founded Dallas, then travel through history to Kennedy's assassination at the Sixth Floor Museum. The Arts District is just the place for an artistic Dallas city break and Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington promises thrilling rides.

Uptown you'll find boutiques and Western chic at Cowboy Cool. There are Dallas malls in Highland Park and Inwood districts, and a Farmers Market Downtown, where you can pack your bags with Texan cookbooks and barbecue spices.
Restaurants
Culinary city breaks in Dallas range from the contemporary American flavours of Mansion on Turtle Creek in Highland Park to the simple but delicious barbecue and Tex-Mex cuisine found everywhere. There are several organic restaurants and healthy cafes Uptown.
Nightlife
Popular with locals and visitors alike is the Texas honky-tonk at Gilley's Dallas. Ascend 33 flights to Dallas' ultra-chic Ghostbar. The Deep Ellum district is your ticket to Dallas nightlife, although Uptown also has plenty of wine bars and coffee shops.
