Riverwalk/River Cruise in San Antonio, TX

The San Antonio Riverwalk is located in historic downtown within walking distance to the world famous battlegrounds of the Alamo.

The Riverwalk is host to many shops, hotels, and a vibrant nightlife that follow along this urban river. In addition to shopping and places to stay, the one thing everyone needs to experience while visiting San Antonio is the Rio San Antonio River Cruise.

The River Cruise is a 35-minute educational but relaxing family-oriented tour that gives you a view of the river that you can't get by strictly walking along the paved paths. If you're lucky, your boat captain will even show you the 'Love Lock Bridge' similar to the once-famous bridge in Paris. There are some beautiful sites and statues along the river that you can only truly appreciate while on the water.

The River Cruise is a must for visitors near and far since it is a one-of-a-kind experience that you will remember for a lifetime. Once your cruise is done, be sure to walk the paved paths to get a different perspective. Don't forget to shop along the way, stopping by all of the quirky, locally-owned shops! If you're looking for a magical experience, be sure to plan your visit near Christmas to see the Riverwalk come to life at night with all of the dazzling lights dancing above your head in the trees.
