The Best Way to Experience San Antonio: The River Walk
Many agree that the most remarkable way to experience San Antonio is by strolling along the River Walk, or Paseo del Rio. As San Antonio's most popular tourist attraction, the River Walk meanders along the banks of the San Antonio River through the city's center. It links major sites such as Brackenridge Park and the San Antonio Museum of Art.
