Flight
If you are flying domestically or getting a connecting flight into Houston, we recommend flying into Hobby airport. It is the smaller and more central “city” airport so Ubers are not as expensive and it is only twenty minutes from downtown/our house!
Flight
If you are getting a direct international flight or flying with a big airline like United or BA, you will probably fly into Bush airport. Expect it to take 45 mins to an hour to get to downtown Houston and for Ubers to be on the pricier side.
Travel Note
Word to the wise for our more European / metropolitan friends: public transport options in Houston are quite limited - even more limited than they might appear at first glance. For ease and dependability, we recommend car rental and/or ride share apps like Uber or Lyft to get around the city. That said, the metro can be great for big sports games and the like, if that's on your itinerary!
Travel Note
There are lots of hotel and Airbnb options in Houston. For proximity to our place and to Houston arts and culture, we recommend staying either in Downtown Houston or in the Montrose/Museum District area. Below are a few of our recommendations at different price points.
