Are you tired of city style of living? Do you want to enjoy the country without really being in the country? Here's your answer - Dallas-Fort Worth's Metroplex!

The Metroplex is a metropolitan center that has the feeling of a huge country town, yet it is still a large, modern urban center with all the commodities of the 21st Century. In either city you'll find many interesting sites to visit and to enjoy.

If you arrive by plane, you'll see your first site of interest once you land: D/FW Airport. This airport is the second largest and most busiest in the world. Seeing such a large airport is an impressive site.

You begin your vacation in Fort Worth. You start off your itinerary by walking around downtown Fort Worth (make sure to click on the red dots to see 3D Virtual Tour), where the old and the modern architecture combine to create a gorgeous downtown. Here you'll find many interesting things to see, such as the Tarrant County Court House, Convention Center, Knights of Pythias Castle Hall, the Sundance Theatre, Burnet Park, and the Twin Glass Towers.

While walking around downtown, you noticed many cowboys walking around and many shops selling cowboy apperal. Then you realize that there must be a rodeo in town. So you hop on a taxi and go to the Cowtown Coliseum. After enjoying a truly Texan evening, you decide to learn more about rodeo performers, so you visit the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame. Then you visit Stockyards Station, where you go back in time to the lifestyle of the Wild West. Once you are done with the cowboy lifestyle, you decide to enjoy nature and walk along Trinity River. From here, you decide to look at other Fort Worth Attractions.

Once you are done with Fort Worth, you decide to go the other side of the Metroplex: Dallas. As you arrive to Dallas, you notice that the freeway interchanges are huge. A must see attraction in Dallas is the Deadly Plaza, where JFK was murdered. You also get to see other attractions like the Cotton Bowl, Dallas Museum of Natural History, and Fair Park.

Now that you have visited the Metroplex, are you ready to go there and experience everything first hand? There's more to see and do in the Metroplex. You can watch a Cowboys game at Texas Stadium, see a Rangers game at Ameriquest Field at Arlington, or even see the Mavericks at American Airlines Center. Besides sports, you can go clubbing in Deep Ellum or hear some country music in downtown Fort Worth. Whatever your needs are, the Metroplex meets them all.
