Places to see in Dallas

City tours

City tours are a great way to get an up-close look at various places to see in Dallas. You can take the walking city tours (meaning, you will be going around Dallas mostly on foot) which may be ideal to participate in during either Spring or Fall to avoid extreme weather conditions like summer heat or freezing winter cold. Now, how far back in Dallas history you go depends on which city tours you join.

John F. Kennedy

An indelible part of Dallas history is the assassination of the beloved US President John F. Kennedy near the city's Dealey Plaza in November 1963. That is why your city tours may make Elm Street of downtown Dallas one of the must-see places to see in Dallas, because that is exactly where a sniper's bullet took the life of John F. Kennedy and ended his short-lived administration that lasted from 1961 to 1963.
