Quick Summary: San Antonio is probably best known for the 1836 Battle of the Alamo, which is an apt starting point for an exploration of this vibrant city that is rich in colonial heritage. San Antonio River Walk, the pedestrian promenade that stretches for miles along the San Antonio River, provides a central artery for diving into the city’s cultural history. It is dotted with diverse hotels and inns. Distinctive urban bed & breakfasts abound, and Texas Hill Country resorts never fail to please.
