One of the world's great airport hubs
A single airport code, two very different cities
Dallas Fort Worth International (DFW) sits almost exactly between two cities that grew up with opposite personalities: banking-and-business Dallas to the east, and cattle-country Fort Worth to the west. The airport itself is enormous — its land footprint is larger than Manhattan, and it ranks among the two or three largest airports in the United States by area — spread across five passenger terminals (A through E) linked by the Skylink train, with a sixth terminal under construction. Year after year, DFW lands in the world's top five or six for total passenger traffic, carrying well over 85 million travelers annually to more than 250 destinations. That scale is exactly why SniperAir treats "Dallas-Fort Worth" as its own destination, distinct from the smaller, mostly domestic Dallas Love Field covered on our separate "Dallas" page.
Not to be missed
The Fort Worth Stockyards and the world's only daily cattle drive
Fort Worth earned its "Cowtown" nickname honestly. Founded in 1849 as a military outpost, it became the last supply stop for cowboys before they crossed the Red River into Indian Territory on the Chisholm Trail — a route that carried more than four million head of cattle north to Kansas railheads between 1866 and 1890. When the railroad reached Fort Worth in 1876, the city built the Stockyards to handle that traffic directly, and by the early 1900s it had grown into one of the largest livestock markets in the country. The district survives today as a National Historic District, and twice a day — 11:30am and 4pm — real cowhands still drive a small herd of Texas longhorns down Exchange Avenue, past saloons, boot shops and the 1918 Cowtown Coliseum, birthplace of the first indoor rodeo.
Downtown Fort Worth
Sundance Square and the Water Gardens
A world away from the Stockyards' western feel, Sundance Square is a 35-block downtown district of restored early-20th-century facades, patio restaurants and a plaza dominated by a three-story mural of a Chisholm Trail cattle drive — proof the city never quite lets you forget its roots even in its most polished corner. A short walk away, the Fort Worth Water Gardens, designed by Philip Johnson and opened in 1974, pack a shaded Quiet Pool and a roaring Active Pool — water cascading 38 feet down concrete terraces — into a free, block-sized park that's especially welcome relief on a hot Texas afternoon.
Culture
Three Pritzker Prize buildings within walking distance
West of downtown, the compact Fort Worth Cultural District packs in a genuinely rare concentration of architecture: the Kimbell Art Museum (Louis Kahn, 1972), the Amon Carter Museum of American Art (Philip Johnson) and the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth (Tadao Ando) sit within walking distance of each other, each designed by a different Pritzker Prize laureate. General admission to the Kimbell's permanent collection and to the Amon Carter, which is devoted to American art from early daguerreotypes to contemporary work, is free — a rare thing among museums of this caliber.
Food
Central Texas barbecue, taken seriously
Fort Worth has become a genuine barbecue destination in its own right, anchored by Goldee's Barbecue, whose brisket routinely ranks among the best in Texas Monthly's statewide rankings and which holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand. Angelo's, family-run since the 1950s, is the old-school choice, smoking meat within sight of the Stockyards. Between Dallas and Fort Worth, expect long, slow-smoked briskets, dry-rubbed ribs and — increasingly — a Tex-Mex "brisket taco" crossover that shows up on menus across the metroplex.
