More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the curb into a city that moves with the confidence of a place used to being on the map—skyscrapers nudging the sky, broad boulevards humming with traffic, and neighborhoods that refuse to behave the same way twice. The tour threads through leafy Heights boulevards, past the pop-art walls of Graffiti Park, skirts the cultural cluster of the Museum District and drops you into POST Houston, a repurposed federal building now serving lunch amid industrial brick and lofty arches.
