Texas is classed as the second largest state in the USA, but yet, it is probably still under the radar when it comes to booking holidays and visiting some of the amazing cities and locations within it, so here are my reasons why you should visit San Antonio Texas.
Of course, if you think of Texas, you may think of Houston because of the space connection, Dallas because of the historical events with a previous US president, or even Austin because of the live music connection.
However, there are other fabulous locations that you can pack up to see and one of them is the city of San Antonio. So if you are looking for a holiday destination that is a little different then here are some of the reasons why San Antonio should be on your radar.
Why you should visit San Antonio, Texas
The relaxed vibe
When it comes to a holiday, a lot of the time you just want to be able to relax and unwind. The whole reason you are booking the break is to get away from the hustle and bustle of life, so a city break may not appeal, but this is where San Antonio could surprise you.
It has a real relaxed vibe, more so than some of the other states in the area. The River Walk especially is one of the vibrant locations to visit, adorned with unique cafes and beautiful bistros, you can find yourself a great spot, enjoy some great food and drink and watch the world go by. If that doesn’t sound like a great way to spend your time, then what is?
What to do in San Antonio, Texas
There are so many things that you can do in San Antonio if you would prefer to fill your days with a little history and culture. One of the first things you could consider would be The Alamo. You can find out more and book tickets here.
Previously founded in the 18th century as a Roman Catholic mission and fortress compound it is now a historical monument that you can walk around and enjoy.
There are other museums to enjoy such as the National Historic Park and even a Seaworld attraction if that’s more your thing.
Finding decent accommodation
One of the biggest factors of a holiday is the accommodation and where you stay, from city centre complexes and luxurious hotels to more affordable options or even self catering options on websites like AirBnb.

The best times to travel there
Of course, when it comes to wanting decent weather, the summer months are always going to be seen as the warmest. But often the heat can be a little unbearable, especially if you are the type of person who likes to walk around and really see the destination. So traveling between November and April will see you enjoying comfortable temperatures, while benefiting from a lower cost in terms of accommodation.
