subject: Living The Life In San Antonio [print this page] I personally, believe that San Antonio is the best tourist location in the united states, but let me try to present some evidence. What can possibly be better than to simply show you all the sights to see, and things to do while you're here, and why its good for tourists. Now, this isn't a complete list, just a short preview of my favorites. In fact, there are so many things to do, adventures to be had, and foods to be tasted in San Antonio, that it requires an mini encyclopedia! But that, is work for some other day! I believe in the 90/10 rule, so I will just present to you the 10%, that gives 90% of the fun.
Let's kick off this list, shall we?
Let me assure you of one thing. If you tell friends that you were in San Antonio, the very first thing they will ask you is "so how did you like the Alamo"? This is because its by far the most popular tourist sight in all of the USA, period. Its almost undisputed in its popularity. What makes it so exciting is that its basically frozen in time. Both the legendary Alamo mission itself, and the surrounding elements, all preserved, as they were.
After you're done with the Alamo, next stop, the incredible zoo. Ok, ok I overuse superlatives, I know, but I am kind of emotionally attached to this one. Even though I live here, I visit it so many times a year, its almost strange. But it has so much to offer, that it always has something new for me to see.
And then, there's three more stops on my list of favorites. This includes the Aztec Theater, the museum of art and the sea-world. One is a historical sight for fans of ancient culture. The other houses works of Picasso, Renoir and Van Gogh, and then, the sea-world is actually the biggest in the world!
And then, you'll want wrap up your experience with the infamous river-walk... a 3 mile stone path with cafes, restaurants and boat rides.
