Start your tour in a hire car through Houston on the I-610, which leads past the inner city districts. One of the most popular tourist attractions, the Downtown Aquarium, lies directly on Interstate 45, which crosses Houston from north to south. In the various exhibitions in the aquarium, such as the Louisiana Swamp, the Rainforest or the Sunken Temple, you can admire an impressive diversity of marine life. Head westwards to the Houston Galleria shopping complex, where you can easily park and find a wide range of goods in more than 400 stores.
In your hire car drive east along Texas State Highway 59 to the Houston Museum District, where you can choose from 20 different museums, including the Houston Museum of Natural Science. Of course, while visiting the city, you can also visit the Houston Space Center on Nasa Parkway. Marvel at a Saturn V rocket and a complete replica of the ISS or go aboard a real Shuttle.
