Whether hunting for deals, shopping the latest trends, or seeking hidden gems, we’re giving you the 411 on everything retail in the 210. So, get ready to shop 'til you drop and check out what you need to know when planning a shopping spree in the Alamo City.
La Villta Historic Arts Village is a must-visit spot for boutique-style shopping and artisan finds. Occupying one square block in the heart of downtown, this “little village” is home to family-owned favorites. The cobble-stoned streets make for a scenic stroll that conveniently leads to the River Walk. Just minutes away, The Shops at Rivercenter also boast more than 100 retailers and IMAX/AMC Theatres.
Those looking for a premium indoor shopping experience need not worry. Just two miles from the San Antonio International Airport and centrally located, North Star Mall features high-end favorites like Saks Fifth Avenue and the new home for San Antonio Artist Collective. And if that’s not enough, the phrase “everything’s bigger in Texas” takes a whole new meaning with this retail hub being home of the world’s largest cowboy boot sculpture!
Did you know San Antonio is home to the largest Mexican market in the United States?
You can shop from over 100 locally-owned shops and stalls at Historic Market Square or “El Mercado.” From Talavera pottery to handcrafted works of art, you can find just what you need in the heart of the city. Go for the exotic curios, but stay for the gourmet Mexican cuisine at Mi Tierra Café y Panaderia and La Margarita. And don’t pass up on the two-story Centro de Artes gallery showcasing Latino artists.
