Location & Lifestyle

San Antonio, where tradition and cosmopolitan style combine to make a city rich in culture, tradition, and authentic experiences. The San Antonio River Walk features restaurants, boutiques, entertainment, and some of the region’s richest historical and cultural sites along the serpentine route of the river. Here you can see five Spanish colonial missions, including the Alamo. Along the River Walk is one of the oldest sections of San Antonio – La Villita. First, it was home to Spanish soldiers serving at the Alamo, and in the late 1800s, French and German immigrants settled there. Now, it is a National Historic District brimming with arts, craft shops, and galleries. San Antonio is also home to world-class museums, including the San Antonio Museum of Art, which features exhibits of Latin American and Asian art as well as a number of folk and contemporary pieces. Additionally, as the home of pieces of artwork by visionaries such as Diego Rivera and Pablo Picasso, the McNay Art Museum invites you to see some of the world’s best contemporary and modern art.
