This place is absolute bliss and provides complete peace of mind. Walking along the river, with over running green trees, blue skies atop and pedestrians, sideby sellers, restaurants and geese around can give a different feel. There's option for boating tour around the river and also a mall build over it! Plus if you like to shell out a few... More

The San Antonio Riverwalk is iconic. Of course it is crowded with tourists, but as one of my students said, so were we! The food was surprisingly good; we ate at a small Mexican restaurant near Ben and Jerry's....can't remember name. Our hotel was near the airport, so we had to pay to park; the lot was across the street... More

When the pavement along the streets is hot the River Walk is shaded and cool. Great idea by the city to develop this area.

Beautiful with the weather this time of year. I wish there were more actual shopping opportunities along with all the food options. Most shops that are there are typical tourist stuff.

Enjoyed walking the Riverwalk very much. The longest walk we took at one time was 2 1/2 miles long and we didn't even notice. We used the water taxi to get to various locations along the river. The Riverwalk provides a variety of choices for dining, drinking and entertainment

Love the river walk! You can take the river taxi's for about $15 for the day for drop on drop off or take the traditional river boat ride to learn something about San Antonio and the river. You can also just walk and see all the shops and restrautaunts.

If you love to walk and see different things and people, this is for you. Plenty of places to rest, eat, drink, etc. We even went during a very cool day and was still very enjoyable. Very close to many hotels and other historic places. Hope to go next time during the evening and see it lit up.

Thoroughly enjoy this area and its well signed and maintained. Really is a must see in the city. There is a taxi service that can take you to the Pearl brewery through a lock as well as many narrated guided tours.
