For visual arts, the Dallas Museum of Art features a collection of local and international works spanning many cultures, times and styles. Try something a little different at the Nasher Sculpture Center, which has a range of intriguing metal monuments as well as works by international artists including Matisse and Miró. Browse the galleries of the Crow Museum of Asian Art.

Just north is the long and narrow Klyde Warren Park, where locals gather to play ball games and enjoy picnics at the innovative green space built over a multi-lane highway. Head beyond its southeastern corner to see the Cathedral Santuario de Guadalupe, built in 1902.
