About Fort Worth
Fort Worth is the 'Cowtown' of Texas and offers a more authentic Western experience than the chic Dallas next door. The city has preserved its cowboy character while simultaneously building one of the most impressive museum landscapes in the USA — a combination that is unique anywhere else. The Fort Worth Stockyards are the vibrant heart of the city: Every day at 11:30 AM and 4:00 PM, cowboys drive a herd of Texas Longhorns down Exchange Avenue — the only daily cattle drive in the world. Saloons, steakhouses, line dance bars, and a historic rodeo arena make the Stockyards the ultimate Texas experience. The Cultural District is home to three world-class museums in close proximity: The Kimbell Art Museum (building by Louis Kahn, collection from Caravaggio to Picasso), the Modern Art Museum (Tadao Ando building with a huge water basin), and the Amon Carter Museum of American Art. Sundance Square in Downtown is a lively square with restaurants, theaters, and nightlife. Fort Worth is also home to the Texas Christian University campus and the Fort Worth Botanic Garden — the oldest botanical garden in Texas with an award-winning Japanese garden.
