The 10 Best Points of Interest & Landmarks in San Antonio, Texas (TX)

May 5, 2022 Brain Ambrose

Step to the beat of wafting flamenco music as you wander the downtown River Walk before sampling as much chili (San Antonio’s signature dish) as your taste buds will allow. A visit to the Alamo is an absolute must, as is taking in a show at the ornate Majestic Theatre. San Antonio Missions National Historical Park is dotted with 18th-century buildings and features, making for an enriching excursion.

Main Plaza

Reviewed By nurse4death - Eureka, United States

There is a beautiful light show on Tuesdays and weekends which was fabulous. The music was perfect and the show great. We visited the San Hernandez church which is where the light show is on and it is beautiful-it closes in the evening so visit during the day. The show lasts about 20 minutes and is worth the watch. It was very crowded-great knowing people were enjoying it! There is a coffee place we enjoyed right by the church.

San Antonio Tours

Reviewed By Eskybear123 - Las Vegas, United States

We did this tour at the basic rate which is all you need. We did the full tour, about an hour, without any hopping off to get the feel. Our driver/tour guide BJ was fantastic, imparting lots of information with a great sense of humor. We were blessed to have him at the helm. We then looked thru the schedule and chose a couple of stops we wanted to hop off at and jumped back on the next bus and headed to our destinations. Buses came by every 30 minutes so there was minimal waiting if you timed your stops right.

Pearl Brewery

Pearl has a rich history dating back to 1883. Today Pearl is home to unforgettable cuisine, rich history, curious articles, and all the charm of South Texas. When you visit Pearl, we’d bet you won’t ever walk the same path twice. With apartments and lofts, fifteen restaurants and cafes, thirteen retailers and eighteen resident businesses as well as a twice weekly Farmers Market, this neighborhood is always full of life and activity. From culture to cuisine, we hope you explore to your heart’s content.
