San Antonio at a Glance
A city steeped in history, San Antonio, Texas,
is a destination not to be missed. On the top of most tourist lists is the Alamo,
one of the more famous Texas landmarks and site of a legendary battle that included
such American icons as Davey Crockett and James Bowie. The San
Antonio IMAX Theatre at Rivercenter
offers a 45-minute presentation on the history and battle of the Alamo. While
visiting the San
Antonio Missions National Historical Park, four 18th-century frontier missions
connected by recreational areas are on-hand to explore. Underground tours of natural
formations are conducted at the Natural
Bridge Caverns, with its mazes of subterranean tunnels, nooks and crannies.
Families will find plenty to do, as San Antonio is home to Sea
World, Ripley's
Believe It or Not! and the San
Antonio Children's Museum. Day trips around Greater
San Antonio include destinations such as New
Braunfels and Seguin, which
both lie less than a 40-minute drive away.
