With its storied past, cultural diversity and developing art scene, San Antonio, Texas, should be on your target to explore. You can explore Alamo City with Culture Trip’s essential list of attractions and activities for your next trip. It would be an exciting place for you to keep in mind!
Alamo
Alamo was the rallying cry during the Texas Revolution, and it’s undoubtedly hard to avoid the landmark on any tour to San Antonio today. This small colonial mission building is one of the attractive monuments for the US history and a vital part of the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park.
River Walk
Weaving its way through the heart of the city is the San Antonio RiverWalk. A network of paths and walkways along the banks of the San Antonio River, the 15-mile route is flanked by the multicolored parasols of bars, cafés, as well as restaurants. True, it’s a well-trodden path, but it’s well worth the walk to get a flavor of the city.
Artpace
Artpace opened in 1995 as a “laboratory of dreams” this is the city’s non-profit contemporary art gallery and creative hub. Its primary focus, alongside the program of engaging and often provocative exhibitions and events, is the nurturing of local and international talent through its residencies. The organization nominates a curator to bring together three artists three times each year.

Tower of the Americas
Here, you can enjoy panoramas over San Antonio and the Texas Hill Country beyond from the top of the Tower of the Americas. Once you’ve descended and are back on terra firma, you can explore the manicured gardens and fountains of Hemisfair Park – the original site of the World’s Fair.
San Antonio Zoo
The zoo can trace its roots back more than 100 years. Today, it has one of the most popular collections in the US, with upwards of a million annual vacationers observing to value greater than 750 types stood for across the 56-acre site. You can go out for the large float of crocodiles, the collection of rare Komodo dragons and the dazzling butterfly house.
The Natural Bridge Caverns
A secure means to visit these bewitching caves gets on a 75-minute discovery trip, as a guide leads you past stalagmites, stalactites, flowstones and ‘chandeliers’ sparkling 180 feet beneath the earth’s surface. For the severe adrenaline drug addict, the Hidden Passage Adventure Tour involves climbing, hiking and rappelling much deeper into the surrounding pockets and passageways.
The Witte Museum

The Saga
The Saga is a multimedia video projection. This is an explosion of color, light, music and archival images splashed over the facade of the imposing San Fernando Cathedral in the city’s Main Plaza. Much of the drama from the unique project – the brainchild of French artist Xavier de Richemont – comes from the juxtaposition of classical architecture and cutting-edge modern technology, leading to what the artist himself describes as an enormous “video painting.” The Saga could be a great option to kill your time.
