As Houston gears up to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the moon landing in 2019, Lonely Planet notes that orbits to the moon may still be pricey, but your trip to Houston doesn’t have to be. The place to start, according to the publication, is the Museum District, which has 19 museums within walking distance: 10 of them are always free. Another affordable outing can be found in the up-and-coming EaDo neighborhood, where visitors can soak in public art and open-air galleries of murals on a self-guided tour.
