The emerging creative scene – think local art shows, festivals and pop-up eateries – is buzzing with new experiences. Wander down the historic streets, follow the winding path of the river, chat with longtime merchants, and eat your way through local staples and trendy hot spots, all while taking in the warm, welcoming smiles of our people.
If you’re a bit of a history buff, visit the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park, for instance. Along with the Alamo, the park was named the first World Heritage Site in Texas by the United Nations Organization for Education, Science and Culture (UNESCO). Stroll and shop through El Mercado, an authentic Mexican marketplace in the heart of downtown. Check out The Witte Museum on the Broadway Cultural Corridor for a visit with the dinosaurs, browse modern European and American art at the McNay Art Museum, or explore a broad range of history and world culture exhibited at the San Antonio Museum of Art.
San Antonio is conveniently perched on the southern edge of the Texas Hill Country, offering visitors the opportunity to visit the best of both city and country life.
