Wandering through Malaga’s Old Town is one of the best ways to get a feel for the city. The maze of narrow streets still follows the original Moorish layout — winding paths that offer shade during the heat and open into small squares lined with cafés, churches, and tapas bars. It's an easy place to get a bit lost in the best way possible. At its heart is Plaza de la Constitución, the city’s main square since medieval times. Nearby, Calle Larios is the grand pedestrian street — good for shopping, people-watching, or just walking under the seasonal lights and decorations. The area’s full of small shops, old buildings, and hidden corners that tell Málaga’s layered story.

This is Dallas' largest cultural center with eight museums, an IMAX Theater, a planetarium, the Dallas Aquarium, the Cotton Bowl, an outdoor amphitheater and a Music Hall showing Broadway shows, ballet and opera. There are also plenty of rides for all ages here. In addition over one hundred special events and cultural festivals take place here each year.

Tucked inside a restored 18th-century house, this small museum holds a surprisingly broad collection of decorative glass — everything from ancient pieces to Art Deco. Each room is set up with period furniture, so it feels more like walking through someone’s home than a typical museum.

The Alcazaba is an 11th-century palatial fortification which stands as a testament to Malaga’s rich Moorish past. You can walk up if you’re feeling active, or take the bus if it’s too hot — it drops you near the top. Inside, it’s a mix of stone walls, arches, and quiet courtyards with views out over Malaga and the port.
