Houston → Museum District: key facts

Getting from Houston Airport (IAH) to Museum District takes about 35 min by car on an empty road (35–50 min in heavy traffic) over 37 km via I 69 and John F. Kennedy Boulevard. Our private transfer costs $85 for a car with 1–3 passengers or $130 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.

On arrival: The driver waits in the baggage claim area of the terminal your flight lands at (Terminals A, B, C or E), holding a sign with your name. On international flights the meeting takes place after Customs and Immigration in the Terminal E international arrivals hall. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.

The Museum District sits about 38 km south of the airport, between Midtown and the Texas Medical Center. Drivers take the Hardy Toll Road or the North Freeway (I-45) towards downtown, then continue on the Southwest Freeway (US-59/I-69) or along Main Street and Fannin Street south to Montrose Boulevard and Hermann Park. The stretch of US-59 south of downtown is slow at peak hours.

The district groups some twenty museums within a short walk of each other, including the Museum of Fine Arts, the Houston Museum of Natural Science and the Contemporary Arts Museum. Hermann Park with the Houston Zoo, McGovern Lake and the Sam Houston monument lies at its southern edge, and Rice University and the Texas Medical Center are next door. Hotels are found along Main Street, Fannin Street and in the nearby Texas Medical Center, and the leafy streets of Montrose run along its western side.

Public transport instead: METRO (Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County) bus 500 IAH Downtown Direct from Terminal E, Level 2, Door E201 to George R. Brown Convention Center (downtown Houston), every 15-30 min, 5:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.. METRO (Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County) bus 102 Bush IAH from Terminal C, Door C105 to Downtown Transit Center, every 15-30 min. No direct public transport from IAH; ride a METRO bus to downtown Houston and change to the METRORail Red Line along Main Street south to the Museum District.
