The Paseo del Rio (the Riverwalk) this is one of the major attractions to the city and a can't miss area for visitors.
El Mercado (the Farmer's Market or Market Square) this is an area of shops with curios, gifts etc. While there you must consider dropping in Mi Tierra a favorite San Antonio restaurant (especially for late-nite)

For more ideas about what to do in SA and events during your trip. See http://www.sanantoniocvb.com
Just as a note the temperatures in San Antonio for your trip should be about 62°Fin the afternoon, 39°F in the morning, . However, Texas weather being what it is, the records for mid January are high 89°F and low 0°F. Last year in mid January we had a very hard freeze for several days. Bring a coat, and be ready to dress warm, but most of the time it is very nice in the afternoons (maybe just a light jacket).
Have a great trip!

The Alamo is Awesome and you can go see the Wax Museum and there is Riverwalk, and the best time to go to San Antonio is sometime in April because they have Fiesta.

The Alamo has got to be the biggest disappointment I have ever witnessed. The Riverwalk is wonderful, though. Shopping in SA is very good and they usually have tons of shows featuring local bands.
