Explore the Fort Worth Stockyards

Step back in time at this National Historic District. Watch the twice-daily longhorn cattle drive down Exchange Avenue, browse Western wear shops, catch live country music, and grab a cold one at the world-famous White Elephant Saloon. It's an experience unlike anywhere else in the country. If you need a car rental in Fort Worth for the weekend, we deliver right to the Stockyards.

02

Visit the Kimbell Art Museum

One of the finest small art museums in the world, the Kimbell houses masterworks from Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Picasso, and more. Entry to the permanent collection is free, making it one of the best deals in Texas.

03

Catch a Show at Sundance Square

The heart of downtown Fort Worth, Sundance Square is packed with restaurants, bars, theaters, and live music venues. Stroll the streets, dine al fresco, or catch a performance at Bass Performance Hall — one of the country's great concert venues.

04

See the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth

Just steps from the Kimbell, the Modern Art Museum (the Modern) is one of the largest modern art museums in the US. Its stunning Tadao Ando-designed building is a work of art itself, reflecting perfectly in its surrounding pond.

05

Tour the Fort Worth Botanic Garden

The oldest botanic garden in Texas, this 109-acre gem features a Japanese Garden, rose gardens, and beautifully manicured walking trails. It's the perfect spot for a peaceful morning stroll.

06

Catch a Texas Rangers or FC Dallas Game

Sports fans won't want to miss a Texas Rangers baseball game at Globe Life Field or an FC Dallas soccer match. The DFW area is passionate about its teams, and the live game atmosphere is electric.

Explore the Cultural District

Beyond the Kimbell and the Modern, Fort Worth's Cultural District is home to the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, the National Cowgirl Museum, and the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History — all within walking distance of each other.

Shop and Eat in the Near Southside

Fort Worth's hippest neighborhood is packed with locally-owned restaurants, craft cocktail bars, food trucks, and boutiques. Don't miss the buzzing Magnolia Avenue strip for brunch, coffee, and dinner.

Take a Day Trip to Benbrook Lake

Just 20 minutes southwest of downtown, Benbrook Lake offers fishing, boating, hiking, and stunning sunsets. It's a great escape from the city and perfect for a relaxing afternoon outdoors.
