Dallas is a jewel in the crown of Texas. Its sprawling metropolis, cowboy culture, rich history and modern success have made it a desirable place to live. Fort Worth is similar, but smaller. For those that live there, its home and home is all you need. However, we have all had the feeling before where you feel stale, in need of revitalisation and a change of scenery. Luckily for those in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, there is plenty of great scenery to be savoured, just a stone’s throw from the cities’ centres. For the best accessible weekend and day trips from Dallas-Fort Worth, check out our guide below. 

Fort Worth is Texas’s 5th largest city, known as much for its rodeos and cowboy culture as its art, culture and amenable lifestyle offering. This Old Western city has often been overlooked by newcomers to the Lone Star State in favour of music-obsessed Austin or the grandeur of Dallas; but no more. Fort Worth is staking its claim as Texas’ hottest new market. Its welcoming communities, sense of civic pride, beautiful spaces, exquisite dining opportunities and its wealth of activities year round have made it a highly desirable destination for Texan homebuyers. With close proximity to Dallas-Fort Worth airport, the city is a stone’s throw away from an easy flight anywhere in the USA and easily accessible internationally.
