About
Downtown Houston brings together picturesque reminders of Houston's rich heritage while simultaneously embracing the future. The continuously growing area houses the largest business district bringing together modern skyscrapers, historic facades, world-class athletics, activities, and a growing collection of eateries, bars, and shops.

From Market Square Park, the former home on the city’s first major public to historic, vibrant Main Street, the area has undergone an exciting revitalization. Turn-of-the century buildings have been painstakingly restored to their former glory and now house a variety of bars, shops, and restaurants.
