Sightseeing, shopping, food, and fun. All on a world-renowned 15-mile urban waterway. The River Walk, or Paseo del Rio, is a San Antonio the largest urban ecosystem in the nation. Tucked quietly below street level and only steps away from the Alamo, it provides a pleasant way to navigate the city. Explore by foot along the river’s walking path or jump aboard a river barge for a ride and guided tour.

I walked to the River Walk from the Alamo, which is about 5 minutes walk.

Suddenly the River Walk shows up under the street.

Took the stairs down to the river

Both sides of the river are packed with restaurants and eateries.

There were quiet places where no businesses were on the walk.

The rear entrance to the Briscoe Western Art Museum is on the River Walk.

The museum garden

After being done with the museum, I walked to the River Center.

The River Center is a big shopping mall.

I came out of the mall and started to walk toward the parking garage where I parked.
