Pacing a weekend for two

Pair a quiet morning at the Menil Collection or MFAH with a late lunch in Montrose, then book a single structured evening outing — a ghost walk at Market Square or a private cart ride.

Separate reservations

Hotels, dinner tables and tour tickets are booked separately. Check cancellation windows if your plans depend on the weather.
