Go for breakfast on the river, quiet & beautiful that time of morning. Some very nice hotels along the river that offer breakfast even if you are not a guest.

The river-walk in San Antonio---dang. Endless sidewalk (or so it seemed) along some of the nicest restaurants, stores and landscaping you can think of. It courses from central San Antonio south. A nicely paved walk/bike way with plenty of places to rest your weary feet and bod. It comes very close to the historic missions along the San Antonio river... More

the riverwalk area itself is pleasant but pretty uninspiring, the walk from the brewery into the riverwalk was 3 miles and a lovely experience

This walk is beautiful both day and night. In these times when money is tight is would have been easy to cut back on the landscaping along the walk and it would still be special. But no, you see a different site around each corner - a statue here, a waterfall there. Take the boat ride.

We ate dinner then took the boat ride...very enjoyable and educational. Many restaurants offer outside seating which enhances the dining experience.

If you don't do anything else, the riverwalk is a must! The best time to visit is between Thanksgiving and New Year's when the trees sparkle with twinkling lights. Spring and fall are also especially nice with more moderate temperatures. However, no matter when you go, the Riverwalk is just a nice place to hang out, eat, people watch, take... More

The riverwalk is lovely. But if you don't know which way to go, or try to find something specific, it's rather hard. The maps posted throughout do not show "you are here", and we were looking for the Hard Rock Cafe and ended up going the wrong way. Just a little annoying. I should have done more research prior to... More

If you're hungry, the River Walk is the place to go. With restaurants from soup to nuts, you can get anything you might want. It gets rather warm in the summer, but fall and Spring should be outstanding for outside dining in a beautiful environment.
