out of 5

Fort Worth, Texas's fifth-largest city, keeps its Western spirit alive. You can watch cowboys drive cattle down Exchange Avenue, see Monet paintings at the Kimbell Art Museum, or dance at Billy Bob's Texas, the world's largest honky-tonk. Walk through Sundance Square's red-brick streets, catch a symphony at Bass Performance Hall, or explore the Modern Art Museum's concrete and glass galleries.

The Historic Stockyards

Walk on original brick paths and past wooden corrals from the early 1900s in the Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District. You can watch Texas Longhorns parade down Exchange Avenue during the world's only twice-daily cattle drive at 11:30 AM and 4:00 PM. Stop at one of many Texas barbecue restaurants and steakhouses in the area. Billy Bob's Texas, a 3-acre venue, hosts country music concerts and bull riding shows.

Museums in the Cultural District

You can walk between several world-class museums in Fort Worth's Cultural District. The Kimbell Art Museum, with its curved concrete vaults designed by Louis Kahn, displays European masterpieces and Asian art. Next door, the Modern Art Museum's concrete and glass building, designed by Tadao Ando, reflects in a calm pond and houses post-World War II art. The Amon Carter Museum of American Art focuses on paintings and sculptures from the American West, including works by Frederic Remington and Charles Russell.

Downtown and Entertainment

The 37-block Sundance Square district fills downtown Fort Worth with independent restaurants, shops, and performance spaces. Look for the 48-foot-tall angels carved into the façade of Bass Performance Hall, where you can watch symphony, ballet, and opera performances. Local restaurants set up outdoor patios for evening dining. During summer, you can attend free concerts under the stars at the Levitt Pavilion in nearby Arlington.

Natural Spaces and Parks

Walk more than 20 miles of trails and spot local wildlife at the 3,621-acre Fort Worth Nature Center and Refuge. The Fort Worth Botanic Garden has 23 themed gardens, including a Japanese Garden where you can see koi ponds and find quiet meditation areas. At the 64-acre Fort Worth Zoo, walk through themed areas from African Savanna to Texas Wild to see over 5,000 animals.

Getting Around and Climate

Four major interstates connect to Fort Worth: I-30, I-20, I-35W, and I-820. Summer temperatures reach 95°F (35°C) from June through August, while winter brings occasional freezing temperatures between December and February. Spring and fall (March-May and September-November) see temperatures between 60-80°F (15-27°C). Take the Trinity Railway Express for regular service to Dallas, or use Molly the Trolley for free rides around downtown.
