Isabella’s guidebook - San Antonio
Sightseeing
Hands-down, the most iconic part of San Antonio. The River Walk has been renovated and expanded in the past few years, which has resulted in a number of brand new cafes, restaurants, shops and museums popping up along the river.

Activities Around Town
The San Antonio Zoo is located in beautiful Brackenridge Park. This zoo is great to visit with or without kids - our favorite park of it is the bird enclosure where birds fly around freely around you (there is a net so they don't fly out too far). Worth the experience!
