San Antonio River Walk

The San Antonio River symbolizes the heart and soul of the city. Hundreds of years ago, the river was a gathering place for Native Americans. The first civilian Spanish settlers built their homes here in the 1700s. In the late 1920s the people realized what an asset the river could be to the growing city.

The San Antonio River Walk, or Paseo del Rio, was built and later extended, and is now 15 miles of sidewalks and paths. It is a verdant oasis of cypress-lined paved paths, arched stone bridges and lush landscapes that gently winds through the city center. Tucked quietly below street level and only steps from the Alamo, the San Antonio River Walk provides a serene and pleasant way to navigate the city. The River Walk is the largest urban ecosystem in the nation.

Ernie Pyle once described the River Walk as "The American Venice" and it's easy to see why. If you tried to imagine a place where the sights, sounds and flavors of Native America, Old Mexico and the Wild West blend effortlessly with the hustle and bustle of a modern city, it would probably look a lot like the San Antonio River Walk.
