Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Long before the city of San Antonio was established there were already four Catholic missions along the San Antonio River. Today you can visit these missions in the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park which is located just 10 minutes from downtown. The missions are still active and regular services may be attended. You can easily visit the four historic old missions in your own time (using a down-loadable audio guide) or join one of the regular free guided tours. You can drive between the missions or explore on foot or by bicycle along the Mission Reach Hike or Bike trail which connects the four missions - rental bikes are available on site.
