San Antonio's River Walk

Bottom of Form

The San Antonio River Walk is a public park, open 365 days a year. It is a network of walkways along the banks of the San Antonio River, one story beneath approximately 5 miles of downtown San Antonio.

The River Walk winds and loops under bridges as two parallel sidewalks, lined with restaurants, shops, hotels and more. It connects the major tourist draws from the Alamo to Rivercenter Mall, Arneson River Theatre and La Villita, the San Antonio Museum of Art, and the Pearl Brewery. If you don't want to walk the 5 miles you can take a narrated river boat cruise that lasts about 45mins. For more info check out thesanantonioriverwalk.com

There are maps like this one all along the River Walk showing you where you are in relation to the above streets. There are several bridges like the one pictured below that connect the two sides of the river so you can easily cross over and check out the shops on the other side.

Beautiful decorations everywhere.
