Houston
Houston with its diverse culture population is actually the 4th largest city in the USA. Houston is massive in size with plenty of things to do, however this means that getting to these places takes some time. However hiring a car or using the city's excellent METROrail method of transportation that is only $2 for a day pass can negate this and make sure you can get to see all that Houston has to offer. Attractions in Houston, which make it such a popular place to visit, include the Space Center Houston, the Battleship Texas and San Jacinto Battleground Monument (which is there to celebrate Texas winning independence from Mexico) the famous Gardens, parks, its good shopping, and the water park.
