About Fort Worth

Once a significant trading post at one end of the Chisholm Trail, Fort Worth is now a lively destination for foodies, music lovers and history aficionados eager to delve into Texas’ intriguing past. Just west of Dallas, the city is immensely popular with families, couples, groups of friends and business travellers. Characterful accommodation options range from cosy B&Bs to swish city hotels, channelling Art Deco glamour or the charm of the Old West. Many of the best places to stay in Forth Worth are tucked within the fascinating Forth Worth Stockyards Historic District — one of the city's main highlights.

Downtown Forth Worth brims with vibrant bars and eateries, many of which are clustered around Sundance Square. The nearby Cultural District is home to fabulous museums, including the Kimbell Art Museum, the Modern Art Museum of Forth Worth and the Amon Carter Museum of American Art. The National Cowgirl Museum is a quirky must-see too! Head to the Forth Worth Botanic Garden for a scenic stroll, take the kids to the Forth Worth Zoo, or borrow a bike to cycle around the city. There are also many cycling, hiking and horse riding trails in the vicinity.

Previously the site of the largest livestock market in Texas, the Fort Worth Stockyards have undergone a careful regeneration, retaining their ‘Wild West’ feel with twice-daily mini-cattle drives, weekend rodeos and fun country dancing venues. This district is a bit hit with families — but there are also old-school saloons for grown-ups looking to sip a cold beer or two, with cowboy memorabilia on the walls and toe-tapping live music all evening.

A funky Texan city filled with things to see and do, Forth Worth is a brilliant holiday pick. Many of the best places to stay in Fort Worth fill up fast during the summer months — book your trip well in advance!
