Houston: From the World Cup to out of this world space history
Visit Houston is gearing up to welcome UK visitors after a stellar travel trade mission featuring astronaut Mike Foreman from STS-129 and Space Centre Houston.
According to Visit Houston, this is just the launchpad for tourism — Houston will also be a major hub for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
It is hosting seven matches at NRG Stadium, including five group-stage games and knockout rounds in the Round of 32 and Round of 16.
It makes Houston a must-visit for football fans.
Beyond space and soccer, visitors can explore Houston’s vibrant cultural scene with the Houston Museum of Natural Science, the Museum of Fine Arts, and the lively street art at Graffiti Park.
Families will love the Downtown Aquarium and Houston Zoo, while foodies can indulge in the city’s renowned dining and nightlife.
This unique blend of space history, sports, and rich Texan culture makes Houston unforgettable adventure for UK travellers both this year and next.
