San Antonio
Sightseeing
My favorite destination at the site of an old converted brewery. Enjoy a scenic river walk, cocktails, fine dining, and shopping. There's even a splash pad for the kids and a Farmers Market on Saturday and Sunday mornings!
Local tip - This is the best part of the River Walk. Walk south to get to The Grotto and FISH art installations.
