I never thought of visiting during Christmas, but I can imagine it must be beautiful. The bridges and water probably provide an incredible landscape for decorating. Thanks Marlene!

I had the good fortune to visit San Antonio some years ago….charming.

I was told that the time to really enjoy River Walk is at Christmas. The
lights and decorations are incredible. I also heard that many couples honeymoon there. As usual, Jason, your photo is GREAT!

Yup, that’s the famous one, mostly for its colorful umbrellas. We didn’t eat there though, so I can’t comment on their food.

My assumption is that its mostly tourists and business people. The river is lined with little stands selling hand made jewelry and barge tours are constantly going on. It doesn’t seem like a lot of locals. I think like any city, it’s typically only those that are there on business or for pleasure that will spend time strolling up and down. You will find locals enjoying the river beyond the crowded tourist sections. The river will eventually have 13 miles of walkway, which means it spans well into the normal neighborhoods where you see locals jogging and walking their dogs. There is also a river taxi.

Still cheaper than Miami, and no Ferraris cruising down the river… yet.

I can understand why the river is popular with tourists! What a great place for a meal! Did you find that the locals also hung out on the river or mostly tourists?

It IS the place to enjoy a meal and drink. This is where the river gets crowded with tourists flocking for a night out. The restaurant with all the colorful umbrellas is the most photographed part of the River Walk. Obviously, we contributed to that.

Really nice photo, what a cool setting. Looks like a great place to have a meal and glass of wine and watch the river boats go by.
