Traveler advice
What to pack
It’s hot in Houston!
But buildings usually run the A/C at very low temps. If you’re going to be moving about, bring something comfortable to layer on and off. Depending on the time of year, it can be 40 degrees in the morning and 75 by lunch.
Getting around
Be ready to ride or drive!
While we have public transportation, it’s not the best way to get around town. Having a vehicle is recommended. Ride sharing is also available and easy.
