What to do and see in San Antonio, Texas (TX): The Best Historic Walking Areas
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.

Any history buff will love this tour. A self-guided, self-paced, up-close look at the 300 year old Spanish missions built along the San Antonio river-and it's all free! Starting with Mission Espada and proceeding to Mission San Juan, these first two are South of town and remote enough to be very serene and a person can easily imagine the challenges facing the first settlers. The inside of the Espada chapel is beautiful and San Juan and Concepcion are gorgeous in structure and functionality. A real adventure in history even though the interiors in most are closed.

A village of historic buildings which fell into disrepair through the years has now been repurposed as a pretty, flower filled area of shops and restaurants. Art galleries, gift shops featuring Mexican folk art and jewelry by local artists, copper shop, and many other interesting shops to explore. Restrooms are also on the premises. Friendly shopkeepers add to the experience. Definitely worth a stop.
