Default Good San Antonio Pictures

I am currently living in the beautiful city of San Antonio, Texas in the United States. It has a strong Mexican influence. It has a population of 1,296,682 and a metro area of nearly 2,000,000 people. It has so many tourist attractions from the historical Alamo to the modern theme parks Six Flags and Sea World.

In this thread, I will show you San Antonio from a tourist's perspective and also from a local's perspective. Enjoy!

(P.S., I plan on updating this thread with more pictures during my time here in San Antonio)



The downtown skyline. Very small for a city of it's size but the vibrancy of it makes up for buildings


The building under construction in the background is The Grand Hyatt.


Looking down Houston Street


The Alamo and the Emily Morgan Hotel


The Hippolito Garcia Courthouse


One of the beautiful street signs


The now defunct Lone Star Beer Brewery


The "Barrio." Barrio is the Spanish word for "hood". Not the richest side of town.


A house in the Barrio


Mexican Imports!


Snacks from Mexico


Blankets for sale


Mexican Dresses


Cowboy Hats for Everyone!


The famous River Walk - Paseo del Rio in Spanish. Restaurants and clubs line the river.


Another shot of the River Walk


Stairway to the River Walk which is one-story below street level. Landry's Seafood.


SBC Phone


Burrito Restaurant. Unfortunately Closed Down.


The Tower of Americas. Built for the Hemisfair (World Fair) of 1968.


Aztec looking statue and the Tower


A view of downtown San Antonio from the tower


A part of downtown in detail


Road leading out of downtown


The San Antonio Institute of Mexico


Tacos at Cafe Ole


Note: San Antonio is among the top 10 fattest cities in the United States

For the most part, great pictures, especially downtown. If you've got more, bring 'em.

Liked the pictures Hyun. Although I would have preferred the food plate picture to have been taken before you ate. lol

Just some minor corrections.

Looking down Houston Street
That's actually Dwyer Ave. not Houston Street. Dwyer is a north/south street while Houston Street is a east/west street.

Some fine shots there. San Antonio is very beautiful even if some of the residents (or in the case of your picture, visitors) are a little portly. Proof that we have some great vittles.
