About San Antonio River Walk

A pedestrian walkway along a river, below street level? Yes! The San Antonio River Walk is a city park and set of pathways along the San Antonio River, one story below the street in San Antonio, Texas. The River Walk is made up of two parallel sidewalks with restaurants and shops that connect tourists from the Shops at Rivercenter to the Alamo.  Bars, shops, restaurants, artwork, historic missions, and nature are an important part of the culture and tourist attraction.

For the Chinese New Year, Confucius Wishing Lanterns are put in the water to honor the ancestors and send out personal wishes. In the spring enjoy the Texas Cavalier’s River Parade, a river parade with flowered floats. During the holiday season in December, the Ford Holiday River Parade showcases local celebrities and bands. The more artistic side of you will enjoy a visit to The Aztec on the River. A popular attraction in Texas, second only to the Alamo, it is a theatre built in 1926 with lavish sculptures, columns, and murals. La Villita Historic Arts Village is San Antonio’s oldest neighborhood, with galleries, jewelers, Mexican folk art, and restaurants. Before you go, be sure to leave a lock on the Love Lock Bridge in San Antonio.
