A travel guide to the best places to visit

Taking a River Walk boat cruise

The most beautiful part of San Antonio is the River Walk. Strolling past the canals and trees and characteristic architecture is a pretty soothing experience. The River Walk has an abundance of restaurants where you can sit down, relax and enjoy the view while enjoying a great meal.

The River Walk is a pedestrian walk that connects several iconic landmarks and world heritage sites in San Antonio. From the Rivercenter Mall, which is one of the best places to shop in San Antonio, to HemisFair Park, where you will find the Tower of the Americas. And from the San Antonio Museum of Art to the Tower Life Building. So the River Walk is actually one of the best starting points when you want to explore everything San Antonio has to offer.

If you want to enjoy the atmosphere of the River Walk then the best way to do that is by taking a sightseeing cruise over the water. By going on an informative boat tour over the canals you will get to see San Antonio at its best, as you will be guided past the highlights of the city. As it is a great way to familiarize yourself with the city and the rich culture it has to offer, taking a boat cruise is certainly one of the best things to do in San Antonio.

If you want to secure your seat on a boat tour, then it is a good idea to book in advance. It should be noted many companies combine a ticket for the boat cruise over the canals with hop-on hop-off bus tickets, so you can fast travel through the city to check out all the spectacular landmarks San Antonio has to offer.
