San Antonio is a city on the cusp of two worlds. To the south, a metropolitan skyline. To the north, the rolling hills of the Texas Hill Country. Only in this great American city, do these two settings come together to set the scene for what is, was and forever becomes—the story of San Antonio.

Downtown San Antonio

In the heart of downtown, the colors of the region’s many cultures collide into a flurry of art galleries and historic districts. From the sounds of mariachis echoing across the river to the lapping waves that trail behind river taxis, the movement of this city creates a scene that is as good as the story. Walk the paths of the River Walk and discover an artful combination of luxury and old world simplicity. Dine at restaurants named among the best in the nation that sidle up next to mom and pop cafes. Savor European cuisine and authentic Tex-Mex. Retire to your luxury riverside suite or a historic boutique hotel.

Texas Hill Country

And just when you think you have found the secret to San Antonio’s attraction, venture to the lush terrain of the Hill Country, a rolling landscape that comes alive with meandering rivers and live oak adorned hillsides.

The New York Times, in it's June 2008 article about 31 great summer trips, ranks the Texas Hill Country at the top of the list. Read the article or learn more.

In the shade of its valleys and at the crest of its peaks lie the comforts of resorts and bed and breakfasts; spas and golf courses; fine dining and down home cooking.

You’ll also be able to tour wineries for the finest in Texas wines; antique among the shops of Boerne, Fredericksburg and New Braunfels; take a leisurely drive or bike ride through some of the most scenic land in Texas and linger in fields of wildflowers where the aromas of summer can pervade your spirit.

So whether you crave the life of the city or the ambiance of the countryside, San Antonio awaits. Your journey begins below.
