- Thursday afternoon drive around downtown Houston Texas, the 4th largest city in the US. Video focuses on the downtown area of the city and passes by a number of popular attractions and points of interest. Enjoy! Tag your favorite spots in the comments below!
Houston is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Texas, fourth most populous city in the United States, as well as the sixth most populous in North America, with an estimated 2018 population of 2.3 million residents. Houston is the principal city of the Greater Houston metropolitan area, which is the fifth most populous metropolitan statistical area in the United States and the second most populous in Texas after the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, with a population of 7 million in 2018.
Comprising a total area of 637.4 square miles (1,651 km2), Houston is the eighth most expansive city in the United States (including consolidated city-counties). It is the largest city in the United States by total area, whose government is similarly not consolidated with that of a county or borough.
The arrival of the 20th century saw a convergence of economic factors which fueled rapid growth in Houston, including a burgeoning port and railroad industry, the decline of Galveston as Texas' primary port following a 1900 hurricane, the subsequent construction of the Houston Ship Channel, and the Texas oil boom. In the mid-20th century, Houston's economy diversified as it became home to the Texas Medical Center-the world's largest concentration of healthcare and research institutions-and NASA's Johnson Space Center, where the Mission Control Center is located.
Houston's economy since the late-20th century has a broad industrial base in energy, manufacturing, aeronautics, and transportation. Leading in healthcare sectors and building oilfield equipment, Houston has the second most Fortune 500 headquarters of any U.S. municipality within its city limits (after New York City). The Port of Houston ranks first in the United States in international waterborne tonnage handled and second in total cargo tonnage handled. Nicknamed the "Space City" and "H-Town", Houston has become a global city, with strengths in culture, medicine, and research. The city has a population from various ethnic and religious backgrounds and a large and growing international community. Houston is the most diverse metropolitan area in Texas and has been described as the most racially and ethnically diverse major metropolis in the U.S. It is home to many cultural institutions and exhibits, which attract more than 7 million visitors a year to the Museum District. Houston has an active visual and performing arts scene in the Theater District and offers year-round resident companies in all major performing arts.

When I need a break after working long hours on difficult and stressful tasks, I watch your videos. They help me relax and calm down when I'm overwhelmed
Oa
Please chat me here on Google chat I need to know more about your country and work maybe you can help me to give job in ur country
If you're American show some love to our cities like HOUSTON ! greetings from CHICAGO ❤
👋
Thank you for making these videoes. It's a unique way for us in Europe to see US cities.
Unique?
For us in America too. The USA is huge, and few of us get the chance to travel everywhere.
Only way*
@@micheledelciterna7590 Well you can visit the USA like I did (I'm from Germany) Or Travel with VR but it's the cheapest
@@maxximal8958 nice profile pic!
Love Houston. Calm, diverse city with a lot to offer.
And then there's Austin. The city that's PrEpArEd FoR tHe FuTuRe but rejects every solution to its basic infrastructure problems
Calm with 2 million residents,possible !! but just explain in detailes ,what is that mean.Calm in traffic,Calm in the street,calm in the Disco,Calm in the Houston Rockets Arena,tell us
I agree!!! Also according to KC’s mayor Quinton Lucas the city (KCMO) has a population around 505,000!!🥳
What ? The city has around 2.3 million with an addition 5 million in the surrounding areas (Houston metro)
@@marcusv9691 It 's calm because it is nothing like dense urban cities since it's sprawl for the most part.
The reason it looks calm is because there is a large underground tunnel network filled with all kinds of shops and amenity stores and even full scale restaurants. It was originally meant to keep everyone out of the Houston heat during summer. But now it diverts some of the foot traffic below street level.
That’s awesome, I wish with the day to visit Houston
Where?
Wow, Lived in Texas my whole
life and I didn’t know they had that in Houston. We have the same in downtown Dallas
@@puzzleddagoat5259 downtown Houston. The entrance are in the buildings. Sometimes its just an escalator taking you below or stairs. They all vary so it would be hard to say exactly what youre looking for.
Home
Houston is a beautiful cty most of my relatives live here and home of the Houston Astros.
Hello Sharon how are you doing.
Glad to c Houston still looking even more beautiful after the major storm last year.🚀🙌🏽
You mean in 2017?
Hurricane Harvey ?
I'm from Europe and absolutely love these videos it's like I'm there
Can't wait to visit Texas and see it for myself
🇺🇲
Texas is the real deal. I love it
Houston is beautiful!😍
I’m fascinated at how many people enjoy watching your drive through my hometown. Who knew?
I'm from the UK but lived in Houston as a young kid. I remember two places... Astro-World and Pipe Organ Pizza.
How the hell can you live in a singer???? You dont make any sense?
Richard he is referring to the amusement park Astro World which was very popular years ago in Houston
There aren't any motorcycles in the downtown to scare me like in bkk,th.The metro trains follows the traffic rules as vehicles.The systematic of direction of traffic can be seen.The smoke in the air seems to be zero.This seems to be impossible metropolitan.I wish i can be there again.
Sexy Ninja I hope he was joking when he said that.
How was your time in houston?
Beautiful and clean city, thank you
Looks cleaner and clalm from other cities 👍 great video thanks
lololololololololololollolololol nice joke... try and smell the streets.. especially around minute maid park...
@@simera9309 no it doesn't. I've lived here for decades and the place is so beautiful that you have no choice but to call it home.
Xaty Bee depends, sometimes it’s alright and other times it smells like you’re walking through the sewer

Check out my POV driving videos!
Gee you making it sound like other cities look bad js. Nyc is clean. It doesnt look clean to yall because thats what yall believe. They tried to keep it clean. And houston is disgusting sorry. It smells and looks bad. Plus not enough skyscapers. Its all due to the moisture.
Houston 🤟🏽 love my city
29:23 two pigeon!
beach be qwaayet this video es fer men onely
Such a quiet place and calm and not dangerous like dallas
Dallas is opposite of rowdy/tuff/kool
dallas sucks
I want to move to Houston so badly. 😭 I can’t wait until I graduate college.
H-town 85 I graduate in 2020! I’ve visited Houston a few times (my family lives there) and I love it so much more than NYC.
Same 😩I graduate in 2023
@Hyosomoo That’s a good Compliment for Houston lol .
Great move and vote democrat plz
@@ThenativeIraqi nope texas will always be red
I lived in Houston for the majority of my 20's... it'd be nice for more H-town vids, please! Brings back great memories!
Something about Houston that I really love. I'm from England and wish to visit the states one day especially Houston. Amazing content ,thank you
If you’re gonna come come during the late fall/winter. It’s super hot and humid in the summers and so it’ll be nice to come when it’s in the 60s/70s degree range. Check out downtown but also rice village is pretty cool
I want to visit there it's my Dream. I hope one day I can visit. Very beautiful place.. Thanks
Very nice video. Houston seems to be such a beautiful city ! 👍🏻
I m From INDIA. But your city is very beautiful and clean. 👌💖 there people are follow traffick rules. And parking very good properly. This is my dream city. You R Lucky. 👏👏👏👍
Lots of Indians in Houston, you should move you would like it here for sure
Today i visited texas from my living room thanks
USA is literally the best country I love it so so much and Texas is amazing ❤ beautiful so beautiful soon I’ll be moving in it ❤❤ pray for me and my flight ✈️ Amen 🙏
Safe journey to the US.
@@serajsalem200 thanks so much 🙏❤️
Stunning architecture 🤩
Watching these video help me study my way around Houston this is very helpful just Incase I miss an exit or a metro bus is in the way of my turning lane 😪 this helps a lot
Houston downtown looks so beautiful especially when it's a bright and sunny day with blue sky. Nice video!!
Nothing in downtown
@@ronaldmiears4554 bro your name is ronald
All yall care about is the view. Not the features.
Most of downtown is just office space which kinda sucks because a lot of it is empty but there’s some pretty good restaurants and places to visit
Very relaxing. After living in China for so long, that blue sky just looks absolutely incredible.
All the love to Houston, TX from Tripoli, LY. I loved the video ❤
Huge streets that's what make usa so special. Love it😘
🤮
Hi greetings from Ireland,i lived in Houston in the 70's ,worked in the ship channel Olin Chemicals,walking to my car one day and there was a huge rig in the car park,it had glass sliding doors so i went up the steps and inside ,there i was greeted by a guy in a Tux and all along the walls were many guns on display in glass cases,turns out our company Olin Chemical were part of a group that included Winchester rifles ,a lot of the guys at work had gun racks on the back windows of their pick ups ,it was quite a culture shock for a kid from Ireland,also the humidity was unreal like working in a steam room,now i'm 71 looking back it all seems like a dream,lovely people btw,with one of the best sense of humor I've come across
Great story! Love it!
Your videos are making me quite calm. Thank you very much, Sir
Houston is a Virgo that is why it is clean and organized! 😎
Me encantó houston.
Me.enamoré de ese lugar
Gracias
Dios los Bendiga !!!!
Houston is a very clean city
Yes but when u go to tthe east side is not clean
Houston actually reminds me of a very humid no water having Toronto. Way more calm than other cities still diverse lots of opportunities.
Houston have plenty of water bc it rains almost every week. It is Very humid tho
It has almost the same population and Houston is a bayou city
Houston had water lmao
RealCeltics Fan we gonna get hit my a tropical storm :0
we have water
Thanks for this video - Houston looks like a beautiful city, I hope to visit it myself someday :)
Thanks for the ride! I had no idea Houston was such a beautiful city. Really enjoyed this video!
And, that’s just Downtown.. Most of the beautiful hubs with vibrant life are outside of DT.
Hello Anna how are you doing today.
Beautiful city Houston.
It looks so clean there
Yes much cleaner n scenic than past yrs
Still more work to be done but big improvement than past years.
Great video!
From all the southern cities I have visited so far , Houston ( very friendly and diverse) and Tallahassee (not as friendly in some areas) are the ones I like. Traffic is calm and easy to drive for a foreigner.
3rd place would be Greensboro NC and surrounding towns.
Last place of all cities? NY...sorry , but people is hateful and too crowded and everyone seems like is being chased down by someone. I love chilled out cities.
I don’t like NY much either. Born and raised here.
I guess because they tried to mind their own business in nyc. As long you dont get in their way, your ok. If you do, you get yelled at. But i dont think its all bad. They said its the best city in usa. So idk.
So calm and quiet
Been there 7 yrs ago 😍😍really loved it
Very nice AND modern city.... thanks!🇦🇷
Another fantastic video. I love Houston. 👍👍👍
I live in Houston and if you Europeans think your traffic is bad then you haven't seen anything yet because this was not filmed during rush hour.
Traffic here isn't that bad. All cities have a rush hour. Compare Houston to Austin. It's a mess over there.
I haven't seen Austin during rush hour so I cannot compare but I will take your word for it.
@@samuelmacdonough8746 Oh yeah Austin traffic is a nightmare. When I`ve been there traffic was a mess but it wasnt even rush hour!
I`ve been to houston only on my trip back to Europe and it was Rush hour, its not worse than in Europe actually. It`s getting worse every where. Where have you been in Europe?
I live in China and if Americans think they live in a city with bad traffic then you haven't seen anything yet. There have been times where people had to abandon cars and seek water because they had been in traffic so long.
All of you guys obviously have never travelled to India😅.
I bet you guys will be exasperated within half an hour driving there.
It so great to see it’s beauty ❤
Awesome and beutiful, nice City tour, thank you about share I joy so mucho
wtf how come so many people hate on Houston. Looks good to me🤷♀️
They jealous
@@Michael-xt1xt nobody is jealous of your gigantic suburb masquerading as a city
Jcm 1994 I’m sure that’s why we have thousands leaving their shitty states for h town and Texas every year
envious people hate Houston!
@@Michael-xt1xt because it's cheap lol
Why america is looking so beautiful
Joshin Joy imagine those guys in Russia still pretending Russia is better than america
because they re very rich
It is beautiful yeeesss
Can't wait to go back this summer as well as Miami!
take me with you!
@@spesnenok9371 Gonna have to Come to Chicago First!
@@whatdadogdoin6082 with pleasure!
@@whatdadogdoin6082 can I get your adress?
🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽 my city! I’m always cruising downtown with a joint in my car.
😂😂😂😂😍
Everybody gangsta till the cop pulls someone over
@@hemprope4326 under 4 ounces is only a ticket here in houston bro
They should based the next GTA game around Houston... and have the main protagonist be a Southern ex army 22 year old who had to drop out of the army to care for his sick mother. He's become a pizza delivery guy and other odd jobs to pay for his mother's medical bills but finds himself entering a life a crime to earn enough money to fully care for her.
Maybe also include Austin and Laredo? : )
It's gonna be back in Vice City (Miami).
Very beautiful city
Houston has underground malls too
Just now discovered your page and I'm very happy that I did...thanks for all that you do...
So beautiful! Hope to visit someday!
You won't be disappointed 😎
As always love your videos 😊👌🏻🔥💯
We moved to Houston from a shithole area in Missouri and love Houston! Love San Antonio and El Paso as well but Houston is the best largest city in America! Believe it or not but TX is the most diverse state in the country and Houston ranks most diverse city in the country after people started moving here including us after 2016 election of trump! Love, happiness, enjoyment, fast moving and beautiful city! Lets go Millennials lets change the State of TX being the best by being Progressive! Lets keep diversity moving to Houston!
Houston is diverse, but it's moving toward less and less diversity. The majority of the population is Hispanic. The real power in the city is still in the hands of the white minority. Eventually, Houston will be like San Antonio, about 2/3 Hispanic. The culture I saw in Houston when I moved there is pretty much gone. That was a long time ago, for sure, and things change. The western part of the city is diverse, for sure, and will likely remain so. But it's a lot more expensive to live there. Living downtown is really expensive rent-wise.
I remember jean michel jarre 1986 in houston rendez vous houston concert greetings from Rotterdam Holland rudolf Wilhelm ❤✌️✌️👍👍👍
Dude I have a signed poster from that!!! No esy
How fast is houston developing coz my houston is developing at a very rapid pace
Wowww. Amazing. Regards from Uruguay
I just love the south ❤️
the vedio is awesome I love it it makes me like I'm the driver walk around London's alleys I really love it hopefully to visit this great city some day ❤ peace out from Morocco
H-town people where you at??!
In the house it's hot outside
@@slimhardaway8 😂😂😂😂
Life long Houstonian. Where am I? Haha, living in Spain.
@@jreagle58 why did you move to Europe?
@@lifeofmisschar long story but Iive in the mountains of southern Spain, beautiful views, no neighbors, no humidity or threat of tropical depressions or hurricanes and charming little villages tucked in the mountains hence I do not miss Houston. I do miss the restaurants and the ability to shop for any ingredient I want but there's always trade offs.
Can't wait to move here!
back again to watch your traveling video, sir
bluecolor6fifty for your video
by the way i just noticed something special on this video at (3:31)=> a silver sedan slowly vanishing just right in front of your car position at the traffic light . . . 😁😁😁
i replayed it many times for this one and only that silver sedan slowly vanishing just in front of your car position, sir
hope you check it soon, sir
maybe anyone watching this video then want to check it too . . .
thank you sir
success always for you, sir
thank you all and success to all too
😊 😊 😊 😊 😊
👍👍👍👍👍
I will probably never get to visit the United States, at least I can watch a video on it though its not the same thing.
Nah dude we will go together one day
@@basmalamansour8728 I hope so, thanks
مدينة جميلة ونظيفة
So many parking garages! So many recently built buildings! We follow along with Google Earth on the iPad. If you can, try shooting at 60 fps. Thank you, J. :)
Houston Texas ✌🏻👍🏻👍🏻😍😍🇺🇸
Thanks for your great video. Could you tell me what kind of camera you used to make the downtown driving series and how to set camera in car? Thank you so much!
I asked him the same some time ago. Got no answer. I like the stabilization, pretty good. I want to instal one in my car. Safety purposes
Houston texas es una ciudad tan grande que nunca terminas de conocerla ❤
absolutely fantastic to see thanx a lot 😃😃
What time of day was this? No traffic.
Always enjoying video
As a life long Houstonian I have to say I don't get an hour long video of driving through downtown. Where's Herman Park? Where's the Museum District or North and South Blvd? Memorial Park? Buffalo Bayou?
Beautiful ❤❤
Thanks. I am fol loing you from algeria
👏👏👏👏👏
I love Houston
Forget Munich it is on small village in the world, sorry
I love Houston.
Love Houston!
Although this was filmed last year, it feels like it's during the Covid-time. Empty streets. It's a coincidence to be watching this now.
bc a lot of people walk through the tunnels underground instead of in the heat
Hello Elida how are you doing today.
Omg first couple minutes is a challange for my patience😅 I've never been in that so many trafic light😅😅
Now I can do this
These ppl that say Houston is boring must be under 50 yrs old n need constant excitement in there life n not settled yet
Let me quickly state, there are 6 miles of tunnels under Downtown Houston that connects 55 major buildings. In those there are shops, restaurants, dry cleaners, barbershop, etc. One can visit a building 10 blocks away and never step outside once. This affects Houston's surface foot traffic. Trust me there thousands of people in Downtown Houston.
Thats why this city sucks. Because there is no life on ground. Meanwhile, Madrid and Barcelona has almost the same climate as Houston and there is still life in those cities, why? Because not everything is underground sucking out the life of the actual city. But on the surface which is what a city is supposed to be
And I assume what you mean by thousands of people being in downtown means that they are below the actual city. But just because they are all underground does not mean that they are in downtown but instead a fucking mall. And malls take away the life of the city centre. This is why Houston is one of the most lifeless cities in North America. All because of the shitty underground system, while the rest is suburban. Basically a failed city
@@nobrang5146 dude all sun belt cities are like that. But they are NOT lifeless!!
@@nobrang5146 Get out of the last millennium and join us this one. This ain't the time between the 11th and 20th centuries.
@@nobrang5146clearly you’ve never stepped foot in Texas let alone Houston and felt tht Texas heat which is very severe and has caused several deaths due to heatstrokes But I guarantee if you were to come to Houston and get a feel for yourself and you’ll then understand why everyone is underground As the old saying goes dnt knock it until you’ve actually experienced it yourself😎🤷🏿♂️👀
i wonder what time of day this was, every time i’m in downtown it’s packed
This time is probably 12:pm
Go there Sundays it's mostley empty!
Going to be Going there may 11 my first time there to visit a friend
I love my city!!!!
29:23 two pigeon!
Do you live in Houston?
Thank you mate
Bela cidade!
I’ll be mad AF in Houston with all those red lights every block
@corvair67 nah not like Houston tho! Everytime I'm in downtown I notice the lights are not in sync
That’s only in the downtown area where this guy is driving around in. Once you step outside the downtown area “grid” traffic lights are further apart
You’ll get some days with a long stretch of green lights even though it’s rare lol
Thanks a lot !!!
Your city doesn't seem as clustered as Atlanta, and your streets are way better!
Great account name! :)
Nah our streets are pretty bad in Houston. Just drive down Richmond and you will need new shocks.
What’s better Houston and it’s surrounding suburbs or Dallas and it’s surrounding suburbs??? Everyone feel free to chime in.
Houston.
Great vid!! Did a similar one but mine is in El Paso !
Houston is wonderfu then dallas
Very nice sir 💞
boa tarde, conhece College station e bryan no texas, você poderia fazer um video nas duas cidades? gostaria de ver como é, mercados lojas bares ruas restaurantes e Downtown!
Nice video
Hello Brenda how are you doing today.
