When you think of San Antonio, two things automatically come to mind: the Alamo and the River Walk. The River Walk was conceived in 1929. Downtown had serious flood problems, and Robert Hugman suggested that the city turn the San Antonio River into an asset rather than a hindrance. Hugman's brainchild has since become the essence of the city. The city's most popular attraction, it is often crowded and filled with children, partygoers, tourists and locals. In the heart of the River Walk is an area filled with restaurants, shops and nightclubs, punctuated by fountains and towering Cypress trees. There is no guardrail, so be careful (although the river is shallow enough that you can stand in it). If you don't like rowdiness or crowds, it is best to stay away during events and festivals. The River Walk is particularly crazy during Fiesta.

  • Lavallette on new year's eve.
  • Tower of the Americas.

“New years eve is an awesome time on the river walk! Avoid "beers and steers" restaurant located near the city center mall. terrible (inedible) food, slow service, and dirty bathrooms! I talked to many other dissatisfied costumers so do not go there-even if the lines are shorter than other restaurants! I was surprised that adults could walk the river walk with alcoholic beverages in hand. Tip. purchase your beverage of choice at the caves pharmacy stores along the river walk. It will save you lots of money.”

  • Great food, great people and wonderful altogether.
  • Theme parks too far from downtown.

“I had a wonderful time with all the partying on the River walk and the Market Square downtown. This is a great place to come if you and the whole family want to have a good time. We took the kids to Six Flags Fiesta Texas and Sea World during the day while we went out on the town at night. Will definitely go back.”
