Finding San Antonio lodgings will be one of the easiest parts of your trip--cramming in all of the wonderful sights will be more difficult. It's more important to plan several destinations in one area of San Antonio, then book a corresponding hotel. It's possible to see tourist attractions that are on opposite sides of the city, but you'll spend a lot of time sitting through traffic.
For seeing the best that San Antonio has to offer in one visit, downtown is your best bet. Not only is downtown home to classic historical sites, such as the Fairmont Hotel and the Alamo, it is also home to some of the city's most affordable lodgings. It's possible to have an amazing time in San Antonio without ever getting in a taxi--but you'll have to do this downtown.
For Excitement in San Antonio, Downtown Has It All
During the day, you can walk from your hotel through downtown San Antonio and its many famous attractions. As the sun sets, look for fabulous nightlife--the downtown area has some of the city's hippest bars and nightclubs. Planning your vacation around downtown San Antonio is the easy way to ensure the whole family will have a great time.
In addition to downtown, there are many attractions in other parts of San Antonio. There are several well-preserved historic districts--nearly every building in Monte Vista was built during the "Gilded Age" (1890-1930) of San Antonio architecture. The quiet districts and suburbs of northern San Antonio make a great day trip, but they're not the best places to find exciting action after dark.
