You don’t need a rental car when visiting Dallas. Miles of rail line connect the different sections of the city and surrounding destinations, such as Denton, Los Colinas, Plano and Fort Worth.

If you live in Dallas, it’s great for “staycations,” and if you’re visiting, you can get around to all the major sites. This fall, the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) has stops at some of the best fall festivals in the area. You won’t have to worry about paying for parking or fighting traffic. Here are 5 fall festivals you can easily get to with DART.
