What are the best places to stay in Dallas?

Downtown

Plus, Downtown is a fantastic place to indulge in some retail therapy. There are all kinds of shopping opportunities, from mega-malls to vintage boutiques. To get from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DTW) to Downtown in a taxi takes about 25 minutes, or you can use public transport which will take about an hour.

When is the best time to visit Dallas?

June to August

June to August is peak summer season in Dallas. The days are long and humidity levels are high. If you're buying flights to Dallas over these two months, you can escape the heat by scheduling in visits to the city's many museums. You'll also want to book your tickets to Dallas in advance. Despite the heat, summertime is one of the most popular times to visit the city.

September to November

If you'd rather have cooler temperatures for your trip, look out for deals on airfare to Dallas over autumn. From September to November, the weather starts to cool down and the crowds thin out. Travelling over low season means you might have an easier time finding discounts on return flights to Dallas, and outdoor activities can be done in the less stifling temperatures.

December to February

During the winter season, temperatures in Dallas drop to an average of 18°C during the day. However, when packing for your flights to Dallas, it’s wise to pack as though you’re preparing to experience two different seasons. It might be brisk enough for a jacket one day, and then so hot the next that you want to wear shorts. There are also several events happening in winter that you might be tempted to plan your flights around, including the Lights All Night Festival.

March to May

March to May is springtime in Dallas. It's a shoulder season and a good time to buy return flights to Dallas if you want mild weather and small crowds at top attractions. You can plan your trip around seeing the city's blooming tulips and attend major events such as Cinco de Mayo and the Deep Ellum Arts Festival.

Dallas International Film Festival

During the event, you can attend screenings, panel discussions and galas. For lovers of independent cinema, it's a wonderful event to attend and a good reason to buy those flights to Dallas

St. Patrick's Day Parade

The Dallas St. Patrick's Day Parade is a 35-year-old tradition. It's usually held on 16 March and features more than 90 floats. The parade starts at Greenville Avenue and ends on Yale Boulevard at the 75 Central Expressway. As St. Patrick's is a popular holiday for the city, you should book your flights to Dallas a few months in advance to avoid any seasonal price increases.

The best time to visit Dallas is during either spring (March, April and May) or autumn (September, October and November). During both seasons, temperatures are quite pleasant and Dallas sees fewer visitors, making it easier to get around and experience the city.

Summer (June, July and August) remains a popular time to visit the city, although the weather is generally very hot and humid, and hotel rates are high, while the winter months can see unpredictable temperatures and even periods of snowfall.

Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport

Located around 36 km from the city centre, Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport is the city’s main international airport. First opened in the mid 1970s, Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport now welcomes arrivals from across North America and numerous international destinations such as Beijing, Mexico City and Bogota.
