SAN ANTONIO
POP 1.3 MILLION
In most large cities, downtown is bustling with businesspeople dressed for office work hur-
rying to their meetings and luncheons. Not so in San Antonio. Instead, downtown is filled
with tourists in shorts carrying cameras and consulting their maps. In fact, many people are
surprised to find that two of the state's most popular destinations - the Riverwalk and the
Alamo - are smack dab in the middle of downtown, surrounded by historical hotels, tourist
attractions and souvenir shops. The rest of the city sprawls out around downtown, careful
not to impinge on the tourist trade.
