The Best Way to Experience San Antonio: The River Walk

Many agree that the most remarkable way to experience San Antonio is by strolling along the River Walk, or Paseo del Rio. As San Antonio's most popular tourist attraction, the River Walk meanders along the banks of the San Antonio River through the city's center. It links major sites such as Brackenridge Park and the San Antonio Museum of Art. Along the River Walk, you will find numerous restaurants, boutique hotels, and sidewalk cafes shaded by vibrant umbrellas. Often, street performers fill the air with enchanting mariachi music.

Exploring the River Walk by Boat

Boat Tours

For a unique perspective of the River Walk, consider taking a boat tour. GO RIO provides various cruises, which include two-hour dinner cruises, short narrated excursions, private charters, and river shuttle services from downtown to Museum Reach. Ticket prices differ based on the type of journey you choose, but expect to pay at least $15.50 per person. Discounts are available for locals, children, seniors, and military personnel.
