Space City is the only metropolis where you can watch a United widebody climb out of IAH, a 1,000-foot container ship work the Ship Channel and a moon rocket rise at Space Center Houston in the same day. Ninety million visitors a year come for the energy of it — and stay for America's most diverse table.
Houston is a hub city by design: two airports moving 62 million passengers a year, the nation's biggest port by tonnage, a rail and bus spine that finally connects the dots — and a convention district rebuilding itself around a bigger George R. Brown. The hubs below map every way in.
Use the port hub for the Ship Channel and Galveston cruising, the bus hub for the $4.50 airport ride and the $1.25 local secret, and the arrivals and spending pages to time your trip around the mega-events.
