Identity
"Big D": a trading post that became Texas's money capital
Dallas started small: in November 1841, trader and lawyer John Neely Bryan camped on the east bank of the Trinity River, next to a natural river crossing, and set up a trading post with the Native tribes already in the area. The Texas legislature granted the young settlement a town charter in 1856, and the arrival of two intersecting railroad lines in the 1870s turned it almost overnight into the commercial crossroads of North Texas. That is the detail that sets Dallas apart from its neighbor Houston two hundred miles south: while Houston's fortune was built on oil discovered in the early 1900s, Dallas grew first as a center for cotton trading, banking and insurance — an identity as a finance and business hub it has never really lost. The city proper is home to roughly 1.3 million people today, inside a wider Dallas-Fort Worth metro area of more than 8 million.
Not to be missed
The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza
On the sixth and seventh floors of the former Texas School Book Depository, overlooking Dealey Plaza at the corner of Elm and Houston Streets, the Sixth Floor Museum has told the story of November 22, 1963 since it opened in 1989 — the day President John F. Kennedy was assassinated on the plaza below. Its collection runs to more than 90,000 artifacts, photographs and recordings, including period wire-service equipment and the scale model of the plaza built for the Warren Commission's investigation, presented with a documentary, historical tone rather than a sensational one. It remains one of the most visited historic sites in Texas, and most visitors set aside about ninety minutes for the self-guided audio tour.
To discover
Deep Ellum, a freedmen's town that became a music legend
Deep Ellum traces back to 1873, when formerly enslaved Texans settled the neighborhood just east of the rail depot — too far from downtown at the time to interest anyone else. By the 1920s it had turned into one of the South's great blues and jazz strips, launching acts like Blind Lemon Jefferson and Huddie "Leadbelly" Ledbetter. That musical identity still drives the neighborhood today, through live-music venues like Trees and Adair's Saloon, and an open-air gallery of warehouse murals that changes constantly — look for the Traveling Man, a trio of 38-foot steel robot sculptures near the DART station that has become Deep Ellum's unofficial mascot.
To discover
Reunion Tower and the downtown skyline
Nicknamed "The Ball" for its geodesic sphere, Reunion Tower has anchored the Dallas skyline since 1978. It stands 561 feet tall, and the indoor-outdoor GeO-Deck observation level sits 470 feet up, with a 360-degree view that stretches roughly 32 miles to Fort Worth on a clear day; after dark, 259 LED lights turn the sphere into the city's most recognizable landmark. Downtown around its base packs in the Dallas Arts District, one of the largest contiguous arts districts in the country, along with the AT&T Performing Arts Center and several museums within easy walking distance of each other.
Food
Texas barbecue and Tex-Mex, side by side
Dallas sits at the meeting point of two of Texas's defining food traditions. Central Texas-style barbecue has a strong Deep Ellum foothold — Pecan Lodge has been smoking brisket and pulled pork there since 2014, and Austin transplant Terry Black's runs an 11,000-square-foot smokehouse with six pits in plain view. On the Tex-Mex side, Pepe's & Mito's has served the neighborhood's queso and margaritas for more than thirty years, one of the longest-running restaurants in Deep Ellum. It's worth remembering that Tex-Mex — a Texan invention built on cheese, cumin and flour tortillas — is a distinct cuisine from the Mexican food found across the border, and Dallas is one of the cities where it was largely popularized nationally.

Dallas airport
The main airport for your flight to Dallas
Dallas Love Field
A compact, mostly domestic airport just six miles from downtown — the fastest way in and out of the city center, and the one this page tracks.
Flying in from Europe or another international hub, you're more likely to land at Dallas Fort Worth International (DFW), the region's much larger international gateway about 20 miles northwest of downtown Dallas. SniperAir tracks that airport separately on its own Dallas-Fort Worth page — worth checking too if you're not tied to a specific airport.
