About
San Antonio River Walk, also known as Paseo del Río, is a network of walkways that follows the San Antonio River through the heart of San Antonio, Texas. Its address is 849 E Commerce St, and it is the city's most popular tourist attraction.
What to expect
The paths run alongside the water, with the river and its banks forming a calm counterpoint to the busy city streets above. Shops and restaurants line the walkways, so a stroll can easily turn into a meal or a browse. Boat tours on the river offer a different way to see the route from the water.
Planning your visit
- Allow time to walk the full route, which is best done at an easy pace with stops along the way.
- Combine a boat ride with a walk, so you see the river from both the water and the banks.
- Plan a meal along the walkways, since many of the restaurants face the river.
- For questions before you go, the contact number is +1-210-227-4262.
Around the River Walk
Because the walkways run through the centre of San Antonio, the attraction is easy to fold into a wider day in the city. It suits visitors who want a relaxed, riverside experience, whether they are travelling alone, as a couple, or with family. Whether it is worth a visit depends on what you enjoy: if you like walking by water, eating outdoors and browsing local shops, the River Walk makes an easy and pleasant choice.
