All About San Antonio
Built upon the banks of the San Antonio River and settled by waves of immigrants, including Native Americans, Spaniards, and Germans, San Antonio is the third largest city in Texas. Today it charms with historic sights, Latino culture, multi-cultural fun, and big-city refinement.
The first stop on most San Antonio vacations is the Alamo, where visitors can separate out fact from fiction - and hear a few tall tales too. Don't be surprised that the actual fort is much smaller than the large-looming stories about it. From there head over to the Paseo del Rio, or River Walk, find a restaurant, and while away a few hours watching the colorful barges float by. Afterwards stroll the cobblestone banks and take pictures on the arched bridges.
From there, explore the city's many historic and vibrant neighborhoods, take the kids to amusement parks like SeaWorld and Fiesta Texas, or shop till you drop for everything from haute couture to handcrafted cowboy boots at Lucchese. Just be sure to sample the local fare - from mouthwatering Tex Mex to autentico Mexican cuisine.
Book a San Antonio vacation package and experience life on the lovely banks of this Venice-style charmer.
