If you’re visiting San Antonio, taking a stroll along the 15 mile River Walk is a must! If you would rather float than walk, Go Rio offers a narrated cruise down the river.
Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the Aztec Theatre is the second most visited attraction in Texas and a well-maintained example of the intricate, exotic-themed motion picture theaters built in the 1920’s during the economic boom before the Great Depression.
The theater is now used as a concert venue and multi-purpose event venue and is home to Agave Bar, named one of the top 10 tequila bars in the country.¹
