Affordable Road Trip

Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas

The Dallas-Fort Worth region covers over 9,000 square miles, so driving through here is a no-brainer.

In this affordable road trip destination, visitors can enjoy a much-needed break from the heat by cooling off inside one of the city’s many museums, including at the Perot Museum of Nature and Science, the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealy Plaza, and the Dallas Museum of Art.

The 68-square-mile Dallas Arts District is the city’s leading arts and culture hub, while the Uptown neighborhood boasts a fun dining scene. The Bishops Arts District, famous for its top-notch entertainment, shopping, and street art, is also a “Must See Place.”

Meanwhile, in Fort Worth, which is about 45 minutes from Dallas by car, visiting the Stockyards feels like a step back in time to the Wild West with rodeos and cattle drives. The city is also home to the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame.

    This information is interesting if you live on the East Coast! The only place close to the PNW is Old Sacramento and we used to live about 40 minutes from there. Granted it is a great place to visit along with the Capital building. But a bit of a drive from here to there. Thank you for the information = maybe next time you can include some places closer to the PNW – there are lots of nice areas in Idaho!!

    1. I live on the east coast, and I can say with confidence that the 2 places in Texas and 1 in California are nowhere near anywhere on the east coast. Being a list of just 7 places, we shouldn’t expect much near each of us. Or look up low-cost destinations near the PNW.

  2. Lovely picture of a row of houses along a log fence side road – Where is that? No ID for it given. None of these places are anywhere near the ‘fly over’ country. The forgotten middle America!

    1. Hi Sherry. The picture you’re referring to is the Georgetown neighborhood in Washington. And as far as the second part of your comment, don’t worry! Middle America happens to be one of OUR favorite places to travel. We even dedicated an entire article to the Midwest! Check it out here: 4 Best Midwest Road Trips in the US
