I had to travel to San Antonio for work. I was blown away by how friendly the locals were and the amount of restaurants. I will definitely come back with my family. Loved it.
Just a Head's up for y'all, the Alamo and SA Zoo areas are under major constructions. So y'all might want to update this video at some point. I think 2 other Major points of Interests in this area (I am speaking as a local) are Morgan's Wonderland (in SA) and Schlitterbahn (in New Braunfels). Morgan's Wonderland is the first (and only) theme park that caters to people of special needs and is all about inclusivity. People who visit, if they have someone with special needs, the entire party is able to gain free entrance. They do so much for this community and the organization has expanded to build a sports facility and camp, amongst other things. Schlitterbahn is still the best Water Park in the US. If people plan on visiting Texas during the Summer months, that's a must do. Thanks for creating this video!
Thanks for the update! We are planning to visit SA. For 4 nights starting Thanksgiving day at the Hilton Palacio on the Riverwalk and take in the experience. We were also planning on visiting the Zoo and Almo while we are in town. Thanks again for the update.
Very tickled right now to come across this video. I'm a native Texan born and raised here in San Antonio. It filled my heart to hear about my city in such a lovely way. Next time y'all come, stop by Freetail! They are a charming pet and family friendly microbrewery. Glad to hear y'all had a charming time! Oh, you can also see a swarm of bats at Brackenridge park 😉. Love from Texas 💛
Not sure why almost every video about San Antonio features the puffy taco at Ray's Drive Inn restaurant. I've lived here all my life and have yet to go there. There are some of the great museums in town, such as the Briscoe Western Art Museum, The Witte, the McNay modern art museum, the San Antonio Museum of Art, and the Doseum, the museum for kids. Other sites are the San Antonio Zoo, the Botanical Garden, and the Japanese Tea Garden. Just for kicks, there is Six Flags Fiesta Texas and Sea World.
Just got back from SA, Canyon Lake (which is drying up), New Braunsfels, and Austin. It was fun, lots of good food, but also lots of driving with minimal scenic views along the way. Overall, my favorite thing was stoping in the town of Gruene, waiting for a table at a restaurant under the shade trees with a bottle of Lonestar and just chilling. That was probably the calmest feeling I ever had. Looking around at other people sitting at the many picnic tables around us, I could tell it was just as peaceful to them, as my family and I!
Looking forward to go there again, I'm planning to relocate there and this is the second time I'll be visiting just to explore my options, I get what some people say about safety and crime, but that probably depends where you at and where you live, at this point I just don't want to live in Washington state anymore, it's making me depressed.
I live in SE Texas and have visited SA numerous times and never had a bad experience. I would love to live in the area. There are so many cool places to visit within a reasonable distance.
I can’t believe you didn’t mention the Menger and the Crockett Hotels in your discussion of downtown hotels. Both are adjacent to the Alamo and a short stroll to the River Walk.
@@CCCC-tq8yo😂hell no it’s not Texas is ass! I was raised in San Antonio I remember the homeless we had, were well known like Elvis RIP. Now it’s just infested with a bunch of fucking drug addict and mentally ill bumbs causing unnecessary trouble with little to no consequences from authority. Downtown near the jail was the spawn zone😂 and that was it. There were lots of Woods and parks that never had homeless now there’s entire camps. The whole U.S is meth/Fentanyl infested. And the fact that everything is so expensive now isn’t helping crime no matter where you go. There’s no longer a safe haven.
I strongly disagree with your hotel recommendations. I am a frequent visitor to San Antonio and enjoy staying at the historic Menger Hotel, the oldest continuously operating hotel west of the Mississippi. The Menger is right next to the Alamo and legendary folks like Oscar Wilde, Babe Ruth, President Teddy Roosevelt, Mae West and Roy Rogers and Dale Evans stayed there. The Menger houses the delightful Sisters Grimm Ghost Tours, which offer very entertaining and insightful walking ghost tours and bus ghost tours. You also neglected to mention the Briscoe Museum of Western Art, San Fernando Cathedral and historic St. Mary’s and St. Joseph’s Catholic Churches.
Just do not understand why the Alamo is in San Antonio , Texas. Most humans feel connected if they can touch such places or things that is or was connected to the place that is in our history. If you wish to touch the land where so many Great leaders gave their lives you will need to go father south in Texas to Alamo , Texas. This is the place where David Crockett and Jim Bowie as well as many others gave their live for the Great State of Texas, and the United States. I guess its just closer for people to come and see something that is hundreds of miles closer ?

One of the nicest cities I've ever visited.

There are some sketchy areas, but the city in general is pretty safe. I have lots of family there and no one has ever been a victim of a crime
Planning a trip and this video was very helpful. Any thoughts about going to the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo?
Check with the Menger. They WILL have packages. I stay there frequently.
Now who in their great minds plans a trip to San Antonio
We are an 1 hour and 10 mins away from Austin not 2 hours unless you considering traffic
One of the inaccuracies in this video.
Great a video about san antonio that tells you to go visit other cities. 6:30

Exactly. The Menger is on the National Registry of Historic Places.
Thanks for sharing👏🏽
Great Video!

Dallas is bigger than Houston and San Antonio. At least when you indlude FortWorth but same difference
dallas sucks

Keep San Antonio weird
