Like fraternal twins with different personalities, the North Texas cities of Dallas and Fort Worth—roughly 30 miles apart by car or train—offer almost everything a traveler could want in an urban vacation, from outdoors adventures to art, history, fine dining, nightlife, and museums.
In Fort Worth, you can be among the first to experience the new Renzo Piano Pavilion of the Kimbell Art Museum; in Dallas, fresh offerings include the reopening of the iconic Reunion Tower observation deck (470 feet above the ground) and the new, eight-acre Rory Meyers Children’s Adventure Garden at the Dallas Arboretum. In the DFW Metroplex, the only constant is change.
“Fort Worth for its gardens, art, food, history, and overall beautiful city.” —Jerry R. Jones, Fort Worth
“Fair Park in Dallas for its architecture and history.”—Scott Chase, Oak Cliff
