Dallas Downtown

This is Dallas’s skyline. The buildings themselves are attractions of a sort, often designed by prestigious architects. The Arts District is a center for performing and visual arts, and significantly includes the Dallas Museum of Art, the Nasher Sculpture Center, and the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center. The City Center District houses hotels and towers and the Convention Center District naturally is home to the Dallas Convention Center. The Farmers Market District and Government District are largely as they sound, agriculture and politics, and the Reunion District has a sports venue or two and the famous Reunion Tower, or the “Big Ball.”

The West End Historic District is the site of JFK’s assassination, which the Sixth Floor Museum thoughtfully covers. The Main Street District is Dallas’s heart and center and plunges right through Downtown, bringing all that glitter closely overhead.
