Dallas Gay and Lesbian Travel Tips

By Matt Link

  • Rent a car. Dallas is extremely spread out, covering nearly 400 square miles, and although the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) has an expansive bus and light rail system, you’ll probably still want a car to get around town. Just keep in mind that street parking can be an expensive hassle in the downtown area.
  • Watch out for conventions. Dallas is the country's second most popular convention destination, and when big ones are in town, rooms can be hard to come by. Visit the Dallas Convention & Visitors Bureau website to check the convention calendar.
  • Fans of outdoor sculptures, rejoice! The city's Nasher Sculpture Center is world-class, featuring works by Picasso, Rodin, and Miro. After you’ve perused the center’s gardens, pick up the "Walking Sculpture" brochure (available at the city's visitor centers), which will lead you to 33 outdoor public sculptures in the downtown area.
