For a day of deep thoughts, head to the Dallas Arts District, another walking tour opportunity bounded by Ross Avenue, Routh Street and St. Paul Street. The Dallas Museum of Art is known as the mainstay of this district, housing renowned collections of both impressionist and contemporary paintings. Located across the street is the Trammel and Margaret Crow Asian Art Museum, which includes more than 300 paintings, sculptures and architectural items from the personal collection of real estate czar Trammel Crow and his wife. While some artifacts in the collection are less than 400 years old, the most noteworthy objects date back as far as 3,500 B.C.

After touring these museums, stop for lunch at Plaza of the Americas, an upscale shopping center featuring more than 40 restaurants, shops and services. Then wander over to the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center; a glimpse at the beautiful architecture surrounding the Lay Family Organ is worth the trip in itself. It's one of the largest mechanical-action organs ever built for a concert hall, spanning the entire height of the concert chamber at the back of the stage. Public tours of the center begin at 1pm on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
