In the 1990s, 5 Texas firefighters had a dream, and in 2013, the San Antonio Fire Museum became a reality. With antique fire trucks and other artifacts dating back to the 1800s, this homage to the history of firefighting is a unique treat for kids of all ages. Another site no visitor wants to miss is the Mission San Antonio de Valero, aka The Alamo. With exhibits on the famous 1836 battle and the soldiers who died there, this majestic, 300-year-old Spanish mission-turned-fortress is free to visit and open year-round.
Downtown San Antonio is one of the cultural hearts of Texas, and the Tobin Center for the Performing Arts proves it. Visitors can choose from the San Antonio Symphony, the ballet, the opera, and the youth orchestra when perusing tickets for a great night out. As for your days, visit the city's River Walk, or Paseo del Rio. It's the largest urban ecosystem in the nation and an ideal way to navigate the city on the San Antonio River. Rent a boat, a bike, or take in the scenery on foot.
The best time to book your Downtown San Antonio vacation rental is from November to April, when the weather is lovely and it's easier to find a bargain. Lowest temps in winter are in the 30s and 40s, and summer is hot and humid with highs in the 90s. The city is bordered by a semi-arid region to the west and a more humid one to the east, which means rain forecasts vary month to month and year to year. Expect sun and fun, but bring your rain gear just in case.
Sprawled over 38 scenic acres, the San Antonio Botanical Garden is where locals and visitors go to meander through well-maintained walking trails bordered by cacti, native flowers, and bushes, and formal gardens of lilies, jasmine, and petunias. Guided walks are available year round, and the birdwatching is excellent in fall, winter, and spring. Looking for more than birds? Your Downtown San Antonio vacation rental will be just 3 miles from the San Antonio Zoo. Exhibits feature 750 species. Don't miss your chance to feed lettuce leaves to the friendly giraffes.
Fly into San Antonio, TX (SAT-San Antonio Intl.), the closest airport, located 7.2 mi (11.7 km) from the city center.
If you'd rather travel by train, the main station is San Antonio Station.
