6 Reasons To Plan A Trip to San Antonio
If you're like me, you've been to San Antonio countless times, but have never really taken the time to explore it. We may have been there for a convention or a work trip that brought us back again and again, but we may not have had the opportunity to see all that this great city has to offer. So let's take advantage of our next visit by exploring some of the things I believe make San Antonio one of the best cities in Texas!
The Alamo
The Alamo is one of the most famous sites in Texas. It was the site of a pivotal battle between Texas revolutionaries and Mexican troops during the War for Independence, and it has been designated a National Historic Landmark by the National Park Service. The Alamo also serves as a museum, shrine, tourist attraction--and even an educational resource for learning about Texas history!
The River Walk
The River Walk is a great place to go for a stroll. You can stop at one of the many restaurants or shops, or just enjoy the scenery. If you're looking for something more active, there are boat tours that will take you down the river and tell stories about San Antonio's history along the way.
The River Walk also hosts many events throughout the year such as music festivals, art shows and community celebrations like Fiesta San Antonio! So if you're looking for something fun to do while visiting our city please consider stopping by The River Walk because there will always be something happening here no matter what time of day it is!
The Tower of the Americas
The Tower of the Americas is a 710-foot observation tower that offers panoramic views of the city. Open year-round, including holidays, tickets are $13 for adults and $10 for children ages 4 to 12.
San Antonio Missions National Historical Park.
The San Antonio Missions National Historical Park is home to four Spanish Colonial missions that are the best preserved in the United States. The park is also considered to be the birthplace of Texas, as it was established in 1718 by Spanish settlers who built three of these structures: Mission Concepcion, Mission San Jose and Mission Espada.
The park has been named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO (United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization). It's worth noting that this designation doesn't just refer to these historical buildings but also includes their surrounding areas -- including riverscapes and gardens -- which were designed according to traditional Indigenous American styles.
La Villita.
La Villita is a neighbourhood in San Antonio that is home to many shops, restaurants and galleries. It's also a great place to visit for festivals and events.
La Villita was established in 1731 as the original site of the city of San Antonio. It became an official National Historic Landmark in 1970 because of its significance as one of only three remaining Mexican villages from before Texas became part of the United States (along with Laredo and El Paso). The name means "little village" in Spanish; it was given this name because it used to be surrounded by farms but now has become part of downtown San Antonio.
Ripley's Haunted Adventure
Ripley's Haunted Adventure is an outdoor haunted house attraction in San Antonio, Texas, United States. The haunted house is located at 1119 East Houston Street in the King William District. Ripley's Haunted Adventure was opened on September 23, 2014, by Jim Coleman and his wife Kim Coleman who also own several other attractions including Guinness World Records Museum (San Antonio), and Ripley's Believe It or Not! Odditorium (San Antonio) and Ripley's Moving Theater & Odditorium (New Braunfels).
The attraction features two floors of terror with multiple rooms based on different horror themes such as vampires, zombies and monsters from outer space along with live actors playing out scenes throughout each room to scare visitors while they walk through it all while taking pictures using their camera flashlights provided inside each room so they can see what is around them better than if there was no light at all which adds even more fright factor into this already scary experience!
