what are some good travel places in San Antonio?

Answer 1

When visiting San Antonio, there are several places to visit and which you select would depend on your individual tastes. San Antonio is a city with a rich heritage and history, strongly influenced by the Spanish, Mexicans, the Texian settlers, German and Czech immigrants. There is also a lot of development of new entertainment venues. Some of the key points of interest are:
The Alamo
The Mission Trail (The 4 Missions other than the Mission San Antonio de Valero [known as the Alamo] built by Spanish missionaries.
The Spanish Governor's Palace
The King William Historic DIstric
La Villita (the original settlement of houses of the Canary Island Immigrants) now an area of Art Galleries and Shops.
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)
The Military Bases - San Antonio is known as military city USA, until recently there were 5 military bases within the city, now 2 have closed, but these are key areas in America's defense. They also have museums and exhibits available.
Natural Bridge Caverns and Wildlife Park
Witte Museum
The McNay Museum
San Antonio Museum of Art
Sea World
Six Flags - Fiesta Texas

Don't forget world class Shopping at:
The Shops at La Canterra
The Quarry Market

and around the city.

Unfortunately, Schlitterbahn Water Park and Splashtown do not traditionally open until April, the schedules for 2008 are not online at this time. Also the water park areas of Fiesta Texas are not open until usually after Memorial Day, so none of these will be of use in March.

However, in Galveston, there is a Schlitterbahn Resort which has indoor/outdoor all-season all-weather water rides. This is not too distant, and Galveston is a wonderful place to spend a weekend. The beach is not quite as nice as South Padre, but they do have one. It also won't have quite as big a crowd as South P.

Enjoy San Antonio!

Answer 2

Many of the places to visit have already been mentioned, but I'm going to add a few. You absolutely must go to "The Time Machine" it's a resteraunt, and it will be the most unique dining experiences you will ever have. There is a great Resteraunt that revolves around so that you can see all of San Antonio, I think it's called "The Tower" or something like that. Also, if you are not a Texas native, there is a Justin Boots outlet store if you want to get boots there ^-^

But yes, you really should go to the Riverwalk, you should ride the boats too, if at all possible.

Answer 3

You should see the Alamo and some of the San Antonio rivers. There is SeaWorld and SixFlags as well...

If its your first time to SA, you must do the Riverwalk at least once. Its a calm sightseeing tour that takes you though the heart of downtown. Also, you will find the downtown area to be the most happening area with restaurants, clubs, The Alamo, zoo, museums etc. Depending on what type of trip you are looking for, downtown has pretty much everything for all ages.
