San
Antonio is the second-largest city in the state of
Texas and the seventh largest city in the United States.
Located in South Texas,
the city is a cultural gateway into the
American Southwest.
Its metropolitan area has nearly 2 million people and is
the 28th-largest metropolitan area in the U.S.
Famous
for its River Walk, the Alamo, Tejano culture, and home
to the SeaWorld San Antonio and Six Flags Fiesta Texas
theme parks, the city is visited by 26 million tourists
per year according to the San Antonio Convention and
Visitors Bureau. San Antonio is also home to the first
museum of modern art in Texas—the Marion Koogler McNay
Art Museum, as well as one of the more successful
National Basketball Association teams in league history,
the San Antonio Spurs.
From the stones of the Alamo to the
meandering paths of the River Walk, San Antonio takes
you on a journey through a land as grand as its
reputation. Walk the lines drawn for independence when
you visit the Alamo—one of five Spanish colonial
missions. Stroll the cobblestone sidewalks of the River
Walk to uncover an outdoor theatre with flamenco dancers
and mariachis, nationally acclaimed museums, luxury
riverside hotels and sidewalk cafes that offer
everything from authentic Tex-Mex to worldly cuisines.
Be sure to explore the rolling
terrain of San Antonio’s Hill Country. A lush oasis
offering resorts complete with top-notch golf courses,
spas and water parks. Just down the road you’ll find
SeaWorld San Antonio, the world's largest marine life
adventure park and family entertainment showplace; and
Six Flags Fiesta Texas with thrilling rides and shows
fun for every age.
Here, diversity is a way of life;

attractions. So come, discover San Antonio! |
