The City
The guide was updated:
A Texas city far away from the cliché landscape of cattle ranches. As the country’s fourth biggest city, Houston delivers all the delights visitors seek in restaurants, attractions and entertainment with its unique cultural character. Houston’s major attractions continue to grow along the accessible main highways and roads, which makes Houston a relatively easy city to navigate despite its rapid development. Known for its oil and gas heritage, the Houston area is home to 2.3 million residents in an extensive area of 627 square miles (1,623.92 km2). In addition, Houston holds second place in the U.S. for the number of Fortune 500 company headquarters located in the city, which makes Houston a powerful global city.
