Things to do in  San Antonio

Does “Remember the Alamo” ring any bells? The legendary fort, where outnumbered Texas revolutionaries died fighting a Mexican siege, lies at the heart of the city. Visitors also flock here to explore the River Walk, a European-like maze of canals, bridges, and waterside pathways along the San Antonio River.

Tour the River Walk and the Alamo on the first day. Then, see the European and American collections at the McNay Art Museum and visit the Mission San José, also known as the queen of the Texas missions. On the third day, visit wineries and orchards in Texas Hill Country.

After a picnic at Brackenridge Park, visit the old-fashioned carousel and Japanese Tea Garden. Then, cozy up on a boat ride along the San Antonio River; after-dark the River Walk is illuminated. Finally, take a wine tasting trip to Texas Hill Country, and your romantic San Antonio weekend is complete.

San Antonio is home to fine urban parks and gardens. Locals with families visit Yanaguana Garden, with its play structures and colorful mosaics, or the Quadrangle, which has a public petting zoo on the grounds of Fort Sam Houston. For hiking, biking, and kayaking, locals head to Confluence Park.

This city is known for historic attractions like the Alamo, Fort Sam Houston, and San Antonio Missions National Historical Park. The River Walk is a network of canals and walkways along the San Antonio River. Also of note is the McNay Art Museum, with its American and European art collections.

Yes. San Antonio is one of the most attractive and storied cities in Texas. Many top attractions also happen to be free to visit, including the legendary Alamo, the European-like River Walk, and the four missions south of town at the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park.
