Alive with energy and rich in diversity, Houston is a fantastic mix of CULTURE and HISTORY attractions that are second to none. While it is a leader in the international energy industry, Houston is much more than an oil town. The city is home to the Texas Medical Center, astonishing performing and visual arts and, yep, the world’s largest rodeo. Don’t forget the center for American manned space flight, NASA’s Johnson Space Center. Top-ranked sports teams also call Houston home — the four-time MLB National League Central Division-Champion Astros, the two-time NBA-Champion Rockets, the four-time WNBA-Champion Comets and the American Hockey League’s Houston Aeros, who won the IHL’s 1999 Turner Cup. And in August 2002, the city will welcome the NFL Houston Texans. Yet amid such big city circumstances, Houston’s attitude remains casual and friendly.
