San Antonio Visitor Information

San Antonio is the ideal blend of Texas history and a cosmopolitan city. Discover centuries of history from the popular Alamo to La Villita (downtown), or tempt your palette with authentic Tex-Mex cuisine.

And when you stay at the Omni La Mansión del Rio you'll be in the heart of San Antonio's Cultural Arts District, across from the magnificently restored Majestic Theatre and within walking distance to the Convention Center and Rivercenter Mall. A visit to San Antonio can also be just plain fun: Amusement parks, museums, shopping and golf courses are also popular choices for visitors to this charming destination.
