The Alamo is by no means the only reason to visit San Antonio. This is quite possibly Texas's most beautiful and atmospheric city, home to the stunning River Walk and bustling Market Square. Northwest of San Antonio is the Hill Country, a rich landscape of majestic live oaks, early American history, and echoes of the linen-to-silk story of Lyndon Baines Johnson, the nation's 36th president.
The most visited city in Texas draws a variety of tourists: Texans who come to shop, sightsee, and relax; conventioneers; families eager for a variety of activities and entertainment, and visitors from northern Mexico, especially during Christmas and Holy Week.
