Whether it is for a conference, a vacation, or a romantic weekend getaway, Arlington is one of Texas’ top destinations to explore. Home to the Dallas Cowboys, thrilling theme parks, museums, historic landmarks and more, Arlington is well worth a visit. If you’re planning to go to this Texas city, here are a few things you should know before going there.
Where to Stay in Arlington
There is no shortage of accommodation in Arlington. Where you stay depends on your type of trip to this Texas destination. If you want to stay downtown and enjoy some dinning and shopping, you can choose a lush, centrally located hotel. If you’re there on business, pick a hotel with all the amenities you might need in a business center. If you’re off on a romantic holiday, pick a cozy hotel, or, if your budget requires, hunt for a deal or a lower priced accommodation. In short, regardless of why you’re in the city or what attractions you’ll be visiting, there is always a convenient Arlington hotel to fulfill your needs and wants.
When to Travel to Arlington
The first item on this Arlington, Texas, travel guide is advice on when you should visit. Although there’s no Hawaiian weather in the winter and the summers are often scorching hot, Arlington, like the entire state, is a year-round destination. If you’re looking for mild weather, spring and summer are your best bet. Summer has its benefits, but you have to put up with the high temperatures. Winter, if you avoid the holidays, can be an interesting time to visit as well, especially if what you’re looking for is low prices and thin crowds.
What to See and Do in Arlington, Texas

AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, is a must. You cannot miss a chance to see this impressive football field and maybe even catch a game if you time your trip right! If you’re more into baseball and a Texas Rangers fan, then Globe Life Park should be at the top of your itinerary.

Exhibits exploring bowling back to its early Egyptian roots, interactive fun perfect for a family outing, and some actual bowling are just a few reasons why you should visit. For museum lovers, the Arlington Museum of Art, the Fort Worth Museum of Science & History, and the American Airlines C.R. Smith Museum are also essential items for your itinerary.
