Houston Travel FAQs

Houston is famous as the home of the NASA Space Center. “Houston” was actually the first word spoken on the moon by astronauts as they communicated with NASA. The city is also well-known for its museums, like the Houston Museum of Natural Science and the Museum of Fine Arts. You can access any of these Houston attractions easily in your rental car.

Somewhat surprisingly, Houston is known for its Louisiana Creole cuisine, thanks to Houston’s “Frenchtown” and large Creole population. Houston also has a reputation for its Vietnamese cuisine. And, of course, Houston is known for its Tex-Mex and barbeque, which are classic Texan staples throughout the state.

We recommend staying near Downtown Houston because you’ll be closer to many popular tourist attractions and restaurants during your stay. You’ll find luxury apartment buildings and friendly hotels near downtown to make your time relaxing. Hop in your rental car and explore Houston neighborhoods like Montrose, an area just outside downtown known for its fun, bohemian eccentricity. 

Rush hour in Houston lasts from 7 AM to 9 AM on weekday mornings and from 4 PM to 7 PM on weekday evenings. During events and holidays, traffic can be even worse. Highway 290 in particular can get crowded during rush hour, so do what you can to avoid it. (source)

Yes. The main toll road is Sam Houston Tollway (the Beltway). It’s an 88-mile loop that encircles the city. Other major toll roads include Katy Freeway, Tomball Tollway, and Westpark Tollway. Other freeways offer HOT (High Occupancy Toll) lanes to allow commuters alternatives during traffic.
