Getting to San Antonio
This tourist city has great infrastructure to support the constant flow of people. Tourist are pouring in and out of the city everyday in great numbers, and the city is still peaceful and doesn’t lose its charm. I guess that most of the people flu in, all those cheap flights to San Antonio are hard to resist. The trip takes fraction of the time, it is safe and you are not sweaty and frustrated when you arrive. There are a lot of hotels and hostels near the San Antonio airport but the trick is to get a room somewhere in the downtown. Finding a room in one of the riverwalk san antonio hotels is great. This way you will escape the gridlocks and will have more pleasant stay in San Antonio.
If you are somewhere else in Texas, there isn’t really a need to fly in. Your car will do the job perfectly. For example if you come from Austin, just take the I-10 and you will be here in no time. It is an open road filled with interesting scenery along the way. There is also the train as an option. This is usually and overnight comfortable trip. Sometimes in nice not to drive for a change.
The city itself has many ways to get from one place to the other. The city bus (bus 7) is a great tourist bus that makes its stops at all the downtown attractions. The trolley is also a great way to get from one point to the other, but it can be a little slow with all the stops that it has. There are also a lot of taxis here, but if you find yourself in a traffic jam, it can get quite expensive. Rent a car isn’t the best option because there are not many free parking places. The usual fee is $5 per day.
The san antonio hotels riverwalk are quite perfectly located. Everything is near and they are quiet and peaceful in the middle of downtown. This is because all of the riverwalk san antonio hotels are below street level.
