Discovery Green is always buzzing with events, while Market Square Park has a more laid-back vibe with historic charm and cozy bars. And if the Texas heat gets to you, take a detour through the downtown tunnel system—a hidden maze of air-conditioned walkways with cafés, shops, and a steady stream of office workers on their lunch breaks.
