With a population of a little over 1.2 million, Dallas ranks as the third most populous city in Texas and the ninth most populous overall in the United States. What this Texan city lacks in size it more than makes up for in uniqueness and Southern charm.

Perhaps nothing captures the essence of Dallas better than its unorthodox skyline. From the hologram-like Bank of America Plaza outlined in green to the unmistakable ball of light that is Reunion Tower, the skyline really is one of the strangest and most beautiful in the United States.

Make no mistake, those towers aren’t just for show. Dallas is one of the most important financial hubs in the country and is often ranked as one of the best cities to do business worldwide.
