River Walk
River Walk Review
The Paseo del Rio is the city's (and the state's) leading tourist attraction. Built a full story below street level, it comprises about 3 mi of scenic stone pathways lining both banks of the San Antonio River as it flows through downtown, connecting many of the city's tourist attractions. (Soon, however, it will expand to 13 miles, connecting downtown with Brackenridge Park to the north and the missions to south.) In some places the walk is peaceful and quiet; in others it is a mad conglomeration of restaurants, bars, hotels, shops, and strolling mariachi bands, all of which can also be seen from river taxis and charter boats.
- Address: Access from many points downtown; it starts near the Rivercenter Mall at 849 E. Commerce St., 110 Broadway, S, Suite 500, San Antonio, TX, 78205 | Map It

JaneBond009, from Fort Worth, Texas
The Riverwalk is always full of people and it seems something cultural is always going on. It may get hot and congested during the summer, but on cooler days it can be worth the trip to walk around or ride one of the boats to get a little more insight on San Antonio's history. One of my favorite places and childhood memories is visiting the Riverwalk. Beautiful buildings, great place to people watch, and grab a bite and margarita!

There is nothing that is beautiful about the Riverwalk except the flowers when they are in bloom. Other than that there is nothing even remotely pretty about it. The water is polluted, it is always crowded, parking is horrendous, the people are rude, service at the restaurants is below mediocre. Don't even visit San Antonio, go to Austin instead, it is so much better!
