About
Irving is a city in Texas, in the United States, and part of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. It sits within easy reach of two of the region's larger urban centres, which makes it a practical base for visitors who want to explore the wider area without staying in the middle of a big city.
What to expect
As a destination, Irving suits travellers who like to combine a short stay in a suburban setting with trips into Dallas and Fort Worth. Its place in the metroplex means the region's roads, neighbourhoods and attractions are close at hand, and the city itself offers a more relaxed pace than its larger neighbours.
Planning a visit
- Consider Irving as a base if you plan to visit both Dallas and Fort Worth during the same trip.
- Allow time to get around the metroplex, as distances between its cities can add up over a day.
- Check locally for current details on specific places, events and getting around before you go.
Irving is known to some visitors by the nickname The Ultimate Destination, a name that reflects how the city is often used as a stopping point for exploring the broader Texas metroplex.
