Dallas, TX

About

Truly in Dallas, people do not ride horses to work/school, or are uneducated and can't speak correct English. The only people wearing cowboy hats are the tourists and real cowboys and ranchers who generally don't live in highly urban areas. Truly, all of Texas is amazing, but Dallas is very rich in culture and beauty.

Getting In

Most people who come to Dallas are going to come by air since Dallas is home to DFW, the Dallas-Fort Worth International airport.

Getting Around

The simplest and most reliable way to get around Dallas is by car. There is public transportation in the form of buses and trains (light rail), but again, these best serve the local needs (commuting to work, etc), and are very difficult to get good timings if you are trying to get anywhere exotic.

Attractions
