San Antonio River Walk
Sightseeing, shopping, food and fun. All on a world-renowned 15-mile urban waterway. The River Walk, or Paseo del Rio, is a San Antonio treasure and the largest urban ecosystem in the nation. Tucked quietly below street level and only steps from the Alamo, it provides a serene and pleasant way to navigate the city. Explore by foot along the river’s walking path or jump aboard a river barge for a ride and guided tour. In the heart of downtown, explore nearby attractions like the Alamo, the King William Historic District, and more. Or, shop local favorites along the river’s Museum Reach at the historic Pearl. There’s so much to do, see, eat, and explore along the river.
The Alamo
Centrally located on Alamo Plaza in downtown San Antonio, the Alamo features interactive tours and exhibits and hosts reenactments of the Texas Revolution. Today, visitors are invited to rediscover this gem of Texas history and stroll through the 4.2-acre complex and Alamo Gardens. Plan your next unique adventure in the Alamo City today. And, to learn more about the history of the Alamo, visit its official website.
The Pearl
Local flavor since 1883. Located just north of downtown San Antonio, The Pearl provides a unique experience as a top culinary and cultural destination. The mixed-use space features retail, dining, picturesque green spaces, award-winning Hotel Emma, and the third campus of The Culinary Institute of America. As a former brewery operating from 1883 to 2001, The Pearl reflects a vivid past while embracing the future. A fan favorite, The Pearl is bursting with food and drink options, boutique shopping, festive seasonal events, and loads of local flavor.
San Antonio Missions
Plan your visit. Explore the Missions along the River Walk’s Mission Reach, an eight-mile stretch with recreational trails, pedestrian bridges, pavilions, and portals to four Spanish colonial missions—Concepción, San José, San Juan, and Espada. Visit the park’s visitor’s center at Mission San José to catch a rotating film, “Gente de Razon,” to brush up on the Mission’s rich history. What’s more, all four mission churches still boast active Catholic parishes that hold regular services. All churches are open to visitors during regular park hours.
