Day Two

Yesterday, we planned the entire day for you. Today we’re going to leave most of the planning to you, albeit with one disclaimer. Your challenge today is this: Leave your hotel as early as you dare and head for the River Walk. You’ll be staying there all day. The River Walk is San Antonio’s most renowned attraction. It is a 2 ½ mile stretch of beautiful cobblestone road that winds through the downtown area, bordering the San Antonio River. The River Walk is surrounded on all sides by shops, restaurants, and other opportunities to take in the culture. It may seem tough to spend an entire day there, but we think you can do it! There are plenty of places to eat your meals, and you’ll be amazed by all there is to do. We’ll give you some recommendations below, both of places to eat and things to see while you’re at the River Walk today!

 

 

Here are some of your multitude of choices when looking for places to dine on the River Walk:

 

Dolores Del Rio, 106 E. River Walk (Italian)
