Since 1528, Galveston has reinvented itself repeatedly. It has flown five flags and was briefly a national capital.
A barrier island on the Texas Gulf Coast in the United States, Galveston is about 50 miles (80.5 km) southeast of Houston.
It is home to a variety of popular attractions, from landmarks and historic buildings to modern wonders and scenic natural areas.
Taken together, these attractions make Galveston one of the most popular tourist destinations in Texas.
