15 Best Things To Do in Dallas, Texas

Historically, Dallas has been known for producing oil and farming, but the city is much more than that now, having become a trade center since the construction of the railroads in 1873. Today, multiple banks and insurance companies have their headquarters in the city, making it a rich industrial center.

Sure enough, these buildings contribute to the city's architectural finesse, especially its postmodern structures, such as the Neoclassical homes, Victorian residences on Swiss Avenue, and the Kirby Building, exuding the Gothic Revival.

Dallas is also home to the John F. Kennedy Memorial, which resembles a cenotaph and stands 30 feet tall, made of marble slabs that give it a modern yet rustic feel. Coming to its natural side, The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden is a representation of the lush green lands and quiet spaces that Dallas has hidden in its fast-paced city life.
