North Texas

The expanse of North Texas combines diverse climates, terrain, lifestyles and histories in a region nearly as broad as the state itself.
Dallas and Fort Worth dominate the center of the region, and no one who knows their personalities would ever call them "twin" cities. Historic District, Texas Cowboy and National Cowgirl Halls of fame, and the annual Fat Stock Show & Rodeo. NASCAR and Indy Car race at Texas Motor Speedway, and the city shows its sophisticated side with top-notch art museums and Bass Hall. Dallas is a cosmopolitan city with five-star restaurants, upscale shopping and live music from intimate clubs to stadium concerts. The city hosts the State Fair of Texas every fall, and Dallas museums attract visitors year-round. the DFW area is home to top-level professional teams in five major sports, plus amusement parks, water parks and a thoroughbred horse racing track.
