No other city in Texas reflects the state's Mexican heritage better than San Antonio. Hispanics make up a considerable fraction of the population though and it shows in most places. The Hispanic atmosphere of San Antonio makes it a truly unique US city. This becomes most evident during Fiesta week, a yearly celebration where thousands of San Antonians enjoy parades, food and drink in the charming downtown streets of the city. Fiesta is a yearly event held in San Antonio in late April. Fiesta is a 10-day, city-wide, fun-filled, multi-cultural, family-oriented celebration. With over 100 different events, it's the biggest party and greatest community benefit in the state of Texas.

The rest of the year there's not much to do.

River Walk (aka Paseo del Rio). The River Walk area, one level below the street level of San Antonio, is an excellent place to explore by day and party by night. The River Walk has guided barge tours by Rio San Antonio Cruises departing regularly. Numerous restaurants, shops, and hotels line the River Walk on both sides of the most popular and developed downtown loop, which winds its way below the streets bounded by Houston to the north, Alamo to the east, Villita to the south, and St. Mary's to the west. The east end of the River Walk is extended to the Convention Center and to the Rivercenter Mall, which houses over 100 retail shops including an IMAX theater. Further development of the River Walk is proceeding north and south of downtown. No visit to San Antonio is complete without a stroll along the River Walk.

From authentic to innovative, San Antonio cuisine is a fusion of gastronomical delights derived from the many cultures that settled the area. In San Antonio, Mexico meets Germany, with the Deep South and cattle-loving Texas tossed in for good measure.

San Antonio has a narrow gastronomical pallet. The Mexican, Tex-Mex and burgers are great and they make up the bulk of restaurant offerings. There's a woeful shortage of culinary diversity. Ask a San Antonian to name five good Indian, Italian, Seafood, or Deli restaurants that aren't a chain and you'll stump them.

San Antonio , Hotels:
8/10

You can find everything, from relatively cheap motels an B&Bs to luxury but very expensive hotels. San Antonio has it all.

San Antonio , Safety:
9/10

San Antonio is a relatively safe city. As long as you take elementary precautions, you'll have a great time. Even when there are crowds for such events like the Alamo Bowl, it is still relatively safe. Just remember that the River Walk always has something going on, but if you're in one of the quieter spots at night, exercise some caution. Along many sections of the River Walk, there is nothing between the edge of the sidewalk and the River. Be very careful with young children, baby strollers, wheelchairs, etc.

Stay away from the South side.
