I think for a tourist, Fort Worth actually has more to offer.
Quite true,
I like Dallas. It’s one of my favorite big cities.
But, I love Fort Worth. I could live there.
Agree 100%. The John Wayne experience in the heart of the Stockyards is a must. Fantastic. If you have time, take in the rodeo. The OP didn’t say their age, sex, etc. so kinda hard to make any meaningful recommendations - - but certainly going to Ft. Worth over Dallas is the best suggestion.
Agree.
I live in Flower Mound.
Be aware there is a train that runs between Dallas and Fort Worth, with stops at various towns (commuters) and I recommend Grapevine as your base. Has nice hotel at the stop and great Tex-Med restaurants.
Grapevine is the mid-point between Dallas and Fort Worth, gives you options.
Dallas is the most un Texan of the big cities. . .
Ft Worth has shopping, museums, opera, shows, plus it’s close to a big city.
I did live in North Dallas for a while, Farmers Branch, but I prefer other areas. But then, I’m a small town kid.
