The dense, tree-covered river bank offers shade from a warm Texas sun and ornate fountains and manmade waterfalls greet you at every turn.
Colorful barges pass you by as you pause to smell the beautiful flowers and flowering shrubs that seem to grow regardless of the time of year. Welcome to San Antonio’s famed River Walk, a meandering, watery boulevard of shops and restaurants nestled one floor below the bustling commerce of America’s eighth-largest city above.
San Antonio has been called one of North America’s most romantic cities, a wonderland of soft light and beauty, where romance is thick upon the night air and lovers, hand in hand, stroll past a promenade of riverside restaurants, bistros, and taverns, on their way to a glorious suite in one of the many amorous hotels that line the river banks.
