Downtown Dallas
Bounded by the freeway loop of four interstate highways, Downtown Dallas is rich with cultural and historical attractions and jam- packed with restaurants, nightlife and shopping. In the center are gleaming skyscrapers and Dealey Plaza, where the
Sixth Floor Museum memorializes John F Kennedy. North of the plaza lies the West End Historic District, its warehouses transformed into eclectic shops and restaurants. East of plaza is Dallas Arts District, the city’s cultural center, home to world-class institutions like the
Dallas Museum of Art, the
Nasher Sculpture Center and the
Tramwell and Margaret Crow Collection of Asian Arts. The jazz clubs and funky shops that define Deep Ellum are just east, under the interstate overpass.
