Outside the Conference
The 300-year-old Alamo isn’t the only historical attraction found in San Antonio. The oldest historic district in Texas — the King William Historic District — was built by German merchants in the late 1800s and is made up of elegant mansions, quirky bed and breakfasts, art galleries and restaurants. The popular River Walk in the city center offers a three-mile-long cobbled walkway along the river’s edge past cafés, shops, restaurants and bars. Its three miles of pathways are a full level below city streets, creating the ambiance of a secluded oasis.
The San Antonio Museum of Art and the Southwest School of Art are also popular with visitors, as is the 120-year-old Buckhorn Saloon & Museum, which offers up both beverages and Old West history.
