We are thinking of flying from Detroit to San Antonio in March for 4 days. We had originally planned first week of March, but concerned about cool weather. Should we plan on layering clothes? We are walkers, so plan to be outdoors sightseeing. Would we be wiser to go first week or so of April? Thanks

Average daytime temps in early March can fluctuate between the mid-50’s F. to the high 70’s F. or even low 80’s F. so, yes, you should be prepared to layer based on the local forecast for the day. Some days you’ll need a jacket or sweater and on other days short sleeve shirts will be all you need.

Average temps will be a few degrees warmer in early April but there could still be a significant swing on any given day or from one day to the next.

Early March could go either way, do bring layers.
This year Fiesta - the citywide festival - will be March 31 through April 10. Expect hotel rates to climb and vacancies to decline.

if you rent a car, you can go to the famous Hill Country which is just west of the city.

Bandera. Bandera is the self-proclaimed “Cowboy Capital of the world” and features rodeos, saloons and guest ranches where you can go horseback riding. Eat some of Texas’ world-famous Chili and BBQ.

Castroville. Enjoy a scenic walking tour of the many historic Alsatian style homes and buildings, including the Steinbach House, Landmark Inn State Historic Site, St. Louis Catholic Church, Haby’s Alastian Bakery, Rio Medina General Store.
