Things to do in Galveston

Galveston is an island city about an hour southeast of downtown Houston, and it lives a double life as a working port and a beach getaway. It is one of the busiest cruise ports in the country, the University of Texas Medical Branch is a major academic medical center and the island’s largest employer, and shipping, port operations and marine research keep business travelers coming year-round. Texas A&M University also runs a maritime campus on Pelican Island.
