It is an impressive melting pot of culture and character. Boasting high-end luxury hotels, innumerable fine dining spots, and one of the busiest airports in the world, Dallas maintains an upscale ethos reflected by an affluent population, world-class museums, and a shimmering modern skyline. Its history was marred by the infamous assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy, but there is more historic and contemporary heritage to be discovered in the city. 1,197,816 people · [Map](https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=32.779166666667&mlon=-96.808888888889#map=12/32.779166666667/-96.808888888889) · [Wikivoyage](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Dallas) · fetched Nov 12, 2026 ## Places worth going 60 [Open the map](https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=32.779166666667&mlon=-96.808888888889#map=12/32.779166666667/-96.808888888889) 1. ![Dallas Museum of Art (DMA)](https://openvibe.media/o/med_01M6ZP7RCMDTJVT9XSQPB32S41?w=640) ### [Dallas Museum of Art (DMA)](/place/dallas-museum-of-art-dma-plc_XS4Y9NKBMZ7ZXTDR5NHY8F85SK) attraction Photo: KeithJonsn at English Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 3.0 · [source](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File%3ADMA_west.jpg) 2. ![George W.
