  • The Best of NileGuide
  • San Antonio is rich in Spanish, Mexican, and American history. Many of its popular tourist destinations tell the story of the land and its successive owners. The Alamo, Missions National Historical Park, San Fernando Cathedral, and the Spanish Governor's Palace provide excellent things to do and see. These beautiful relics of Texas history will take you back to the old west and leave you with a profound sense of how San Antonio came to be. If you're looking for less historic diversions, San Antonio has plenty of amusement parks and shopping to keep you busy. The Riverwalk along the San Antonio River and the Shops at Cantera offer world-class shopping and dining. Sea World of Texas, the world's largest marine life park, features animal shows, an extensive water park, and a wide variety of other marine-themed attractions. For art and culture, see the collection of European and American art at the McNay Art Museum or gawk at retired planes at the Texas Air Museum. Visit La Villita for a look at the San Antonio of the past populated by a selection of contemporary artists showcasing their work, and head to Market square for a unique variety of Mexican sweets. The Buckhorn Saloon & Museum is sure to be a favorite, and the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center in the center of San Antonio has a rotating schedule of exhibitions and festivals about the people of the American Southwest. If the heat is starting to make you sweat, there are plenty of natural and man-made wonders to cool you down in San Antonio as well. Underground you'll find the largest cavern in Texas; Natural Bridge Caverns is a National Natural Landmark and features spectacular limestone underground rock formations. If you're looking for some retro-cool things to do, and outside of town, check out HemisFair Park, where you can cool yourself in cascading fountains. No matter what kind of diversion you're seeking, San Antonio is sure to have something for you.
