Review: San Antonio River Walk

Let’s start big picture. What’s the vibe here?
Strolling along the River Walk in San Antonio is kind of like exploring the city center of a European village or the main drag of a college town—it's got both charm and nostalgia. This is a must-see for anyone visiting San Antonio for the first time. Whether you spend your time drinking margaritas, eating Tex-Mex, or merely window shopping and watching the river taxis chug by, you are in for a true Texas treat.

Fun! Anything in particular we've got to see?
Being on the River Walk in the middle of downtown San Antonio is the thing you've got to see. Highlights include the Arneson River Theater, Rivercenter Mall, and the many, many Tex-Mex restaurants serving up margaritas and combo platters. End your walk at an outdoor eatery, enjoying some live music with a friend and a drink in hand.

Got it. What's the walk like?
The San Antonio River Walk is made up of more than 15 linear miles of walking and biking trails along the river. It's well marked with maps dotting the trail, and there are accessibility maps that mark River Walk entrances equipped with ramps and elevators.

That sounds cool. All said and done, what—and who—is this best for?
Anyone and everyone.
