There’s always something new to learn.
Houston isn’t a city that demands attention — it earns it. It’s a place where space travel, rodeos, world-class art, and international cuisine collide in the most unexpected harmony. You’ll find Vietnamese-Cajun crawfish boiling beside brisket smokers, oil executives mingling with tech founders, and mural-covered neighborhoods that feel like open-air museums.
With one of the most diverse populations in the country and a size that could swallow entire cities whole, Houston is often underestimated — but never outdone. It’s big, bold, and brimming with stories that stretch far beyond cowboy hats and stadium lights.
Let’s see what we discover.
Things you didn’t know about Houston.
5. Houston is the most diverse city in America.

Space Center Houston is the official visitor center for Johnson Space Center, where astronauts train and mission control still operates today.

Stretching over six miles, Houston’s downtown tunnel network lets pedestrians escape the summer heat — lined with shops, food courts, and connections between buildings.

A local retiree spent 18 years covering his entire home in flattened beer cans — and it’s now a beloved folk art landmark.
