Fodor's 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.

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!
