The infamous battle of the Alamo took place within what is now downtown San Antonio. The epic struggle immortalized the heroic battle cries “Come and Take it!” and “Remember the Alamo!”
San Antonio is one of only three cities in the country featuring a Culinary Institute of America, one of the world’s most prestigious culinary arts academies.
Whether you visit the Culinary Institute or not, you should spend time exploring the Pearl District. This area boasts gorgeous stone buildings, independent restaurants and breweries, and small locally owned shops.
Hotels are a dime a dozen in San Antonio. Although many resorts and inns lay along the river, most don’t offer the unique character and charm like the haunted hotel in the city center.
