United StatesRegion
Dallas is a sprawling, car-built Texan city that's been quietly stitching together a handful of genuinely walkable pockets β glass towers and rooftop bars in Uptown, live-music dive bars and street art in Deep Ellum. It trades the postcard compactness of older US cities for scale: steakhouses, mega-malls and a skyline that lights up hard after dark. The energy here is unapologetically business-and-barbecue, with the JFK assassination site (Dealey Plaza) sitting a few blocks from gleaming financial towers.

Getting aroundDART light rail connects Downtown, Uptown and Deep Ellum reasonably well and is the one part of the city where you can skip a car; everywhere else expect to rely on rideshare or a rental car, since distances between attractions and suburbs are large
Where to stayUptown for a walkable grid of restaurants, bars and Katy Trail access, plus DART connections; Deep Ellum for live music, street art and a cheaper, grittier nightlife base; Downtown for skybridge-connected high-rises and the most central jumping-off point for the major sights
Maybe skip ifanyone without a car or rideshare budget β outside a few central neighbourhoods, Dallas is built for driving, not walking
