Houston is one of the hottest shopping destinations in the U.S. The variety and quality of shops, stores, boutiques and malls will amaze you. Whether you’re looking for haute couture, the latest in home décor, something for that special someone or to treat yourself, you will find it in Houston. From the sublime to the silly, the practical to the extravagant, it’s all here.
Stroll the traditional shopping areas for art, antiques, and vintage clothing. There are several great shopping neighborhoods, depending on your passion.
The larger indoor malls (both close to the center and on the outskirts of the city) have enough to keep you and your family entertained for days with ice rinks, play areas, restaurants, and movie theaters, especially on days when you’d rather stay inside. Of course, they’re all Texas-sized and packed with excellent stores.
Or, choose one of the outdoor malls with their abundant trees and cascading flowers surrounding gushing fountains. Spend a day wandering from one one store to the next, all without worrying about traffic. Alfresco dining at the outdoor cafés will make you feel like you’ve taken a trip to Europe.
If you’re a bargain hunter, try one of the area’s outlet malls, where you’ll find designer clothing, shoes, accessories, and more, at a fraction of the retail price. Whether you want a destination outlet mall, or something smaller and higher end, you’ll find the bargain-hunting you desire in Houston.
