San Antonio & Hill Country
Why Go?
Tourism has been good to San Antonio and the sprawling city reciprocates with a wide
variety of attractions to keep everyone entertained. In addition to its colorful European-
style Riverwalk lined with cafes and bars, it rewards visitors with a well-rounded menu of
museums, theme parks, outdoor activities and historical sites. The Alamo is a stalwart tour-
ist favorite, and the scene of the most famous battle in the fight for Texas' independence
from Mexico. You can find four other beautifully preserved Spanish Missions within the
city limits.
San Antonio also puts you in close proximity to the Hill Country, a naturally beautiful
region known for its wildflower -lined roadways, charming small towns and, yes, hills. Fre-
dericksburg is the most touristy Hill Country town, but the area is more about winding
roads and stopping along the way than any particular destination.
When to Go
