Destination guide

A world of history, culture, and nature at your fingertips

If you're considering a Downtown San Antonio vacation rental, congratulations, you're a genius. Many Texas travelers don't realize how many fabulous attractions are within easy reach at the center of the city. The Alamo and the San Antonio River Walk are right there, with shopping, bike, and boat rentals, and museums in easy walking distance. In summer, the city is bustling with out-of-state visitors and kids home from school, but the winter might be an even better time to visit, with cooler temps and smaller crowds.

Things to do

From firemen to Davy Crockett, San Antonio honors the brave

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.

Activities

Take in a show or the scenery along an urban ecosystem

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.

Weather

Cool winters and dog-day summers in San Antonio

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.

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?
