Luoghi imperdibili
Una selezione per iniziare a sognare e organizzare il soggiorno — non un elenco esaustivo di tutto ciò che c’è da vedere.
Place indismissible
The Strand
The Strand concentrates Victorian facades of Galveston, former shopping houses become shops, galleries, restaurants and bars. The cast iron balconies, patinated bricks and proximity to the port recall the time when the island was one of the major shopping centers of the Gulf of Mexico.
Culture and heritage
Bishop's Palace
Bishop's Palace, also known as Gresham House, is an exuberant Victorian home in Galveston's East End, all made of turrets, woodwork and stained glass. The interior reveals carved stairs, fireplaces, decorated lounges and almost theatrical details, reflecting the richness of the island before the major upheavals of the early twentieth century.
Nature and landscape
Galveston Island State Park
Galveston Island State Park shows the two faces of the island: Gulf beach on one side, marshes, lagoons and grass beds on the other. There are coastal birds, crabs, dunes and sunsets on the bay, in a more natural atmosphere than the urban areas of the island. Galveston.
Culture and heritage
Moody Gardens
Moody Gardens is recognized by its glass pyramids, each dedicated to a different universe: aquarium, tropical forest and science. The place works well for families or days of unstable weather, with sharks, penguins, butterflies, wet plants and attractions gathered in the same complex.
