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. Along the River Walk, you will find numerous restaurants, boutique hotels, and sidewalk cafes shaded by vibrant umbrellas. Often, street performers fill the air with enchanting mariachi music.
