The Dallas area has more than 100 golf courses.

Dallas’ new slogan – “Live Large. Think Big.” - describes the essence and vitality of a city built on big dreams, freshly blazed trails and an attitude that all things are possible.

That consistent drive has continued to fuel Dallas’ growth from its early days as a small encampment on the bank of the Trinity River to its current status as the nation’s ninth-largest city and a leading convention and visitor destination.

Every few years, Dallas’ urban landscape is refreshed with “Texas-sized” achievements that provide a lasting legacy for upcoming generations.

Dallas is a mecca for shoppers, as it boasts more shopping centers per capita than any other US city. Not only is Dallas home to the internationally recognized specialty store Neiman Marcus, it is also the site of America’s oldest shopping center, Highland Park Village. Be sure to also visit the Dallas Galleria with its completed multi-million dollar expansion and renovation and enjoy 110 new premier retail stores and dining options at NorthPark Center.

Dallasites pursue art and culture with almost as much enthusiasm as shopping. While you’re there engage in Dallas’ passion for Arts and Culture.

Stroll the Dallas Arts District – the largest urban arts district in the nation – and enjoy the Dallas Museum of Art, home to one of the largest collections of post-1945 art in the Southwest; the Nasher Sculpture Center, one of the world’s foremost, privately owned collections of modern and contemporary sculpture and art; the Crow Collection of Asian Art, the only Asian art museum in the southwest; or hear the symphony at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center, an acoustical and architectural wonder. The new Latino Cultural Center is buzzing with multicultural activities and artistic endeavors.

International cuisine and world-class hotels are blended together in the very fabric of Dallas. With more restaurants per capita than New York City, Dallas boasts four of the Mobile, 4-Star & AAA, 4-Diamond award winners.

There are over 13 entertainment districts within a short distance of downtown, each with their own local history and flavor, offering a unique mixture of arts, culture, shopping, dining and fun.
