8 days in San Antonio Itinerary

As the state’s second largest city, San Antonio embodies Texas’ rich cultural heritage while maintaining the Old West charm of an oil town.

Deepen your sense of the past at sights like Mission San Jose and King William Historic District. Discover out-of-the-way places like Briscoe Western Art Museum and Battle For Texas: The Experience. Get out of town with these interesting San Antonio side-trips: Becker Vineyards (Winery) (in Stonewall), Garrison Brothers Distillery (in Hye) and Fredericksburg (Pioneer Museum & St. Mary's Catholic Church). There's much more to do: appreciate the extensive heritage of Mission Trail, pause for some serene contemplation at St Joseph Catholic Church, examine the collection at San Antonio Fire Museum, and take an in-depth tour of Institute of Texan Cultures.
