Katy's Trail
Katy Trail is a scenic 3.5-mile urban path (about 7 miles round trip) that winds through Uptown Dallas, perfect for a morning coffee walk or a jog with city views. The trail runs from Victory Park near the American Airlines Center up to SMU in the Knox/Henderson area. One of the most popular access points is Katy Trail Ice House, a lively outdoor spot to grab a drink or bite after your stroll.

Would it be Texas without BBQ? Terry Blacks is high on our list of recommendations on where to enjoy Texas BBQ. From the brisket to the smoked sausage, you won't regret swinging by Terry Blacks for a good meal.
World Springs Spa & Retreat
If you’re looking for a unique Dallas experience, plan a visit to WorldSprings in The Colony. This outdoor mineral-spring retreat offers dozens of soaking pools, invigorating cold plunges, rejuvenating saunas, and a relaxed, resort-style atmosphere.
The Dallas Arboretum
Just a short drive from Uptown, The Dallas Arboretum & Botanical Garden is filled with gardens, fountains, and beautiful walking paths overlooking White Rock Lake.
White Rock Lake
White Rock Lake is a peaceful escape from the city’s buzz. This 1,000-acre lake is surrounded by walking and biking trails, tree-lined paths, and views of the Dallas skyline.
Fort Worth Stockyards
If you have a little extra time during your trip, we highly recommend a visit to Fort Worth Stockyards, about 35–45 minutes west of Dallas. While Dallas is known for its modern skyline, luxury shopping, and vibrant nightlife, Fort Worth offers a more authentic Texas feel; think cowboy hats, country music, and rodeo spirit. You can watch the daily cattle drive down Exchange Avenue, explore Texas-style shops, dine at classic steakhouses, or enjoy live music at Billy Bob’s Texas, the world’s largest honky-tonk. It’s a fun way to experience the cowboy side of Texas and makes for a great day trip from Dallas.
