The Paseo del Rio, in the heart of downtown,
is the pride of the city. Lush green foliage lines the banks of this
peaceful, historic river. Cobblestone walkways lead visitors to the
river-level restaurants and shops. The river bubbles to the surface on
the grounds of the University of the Incarnate Word and flows to
downtown and beyond, threading its way through the city one level below
the hustle and bustle of city streets..
First called Yanaguana by the Payaya Indians, meaning "place of
refreshing waters." Along the horseshoe shaped riverbend, the river is
shaded by towering cypresses, oaks and willows and bordered by gardens
of flowering ornamental plants. River cruisers travel the River Walk's
three miles past unique retail shops, restaurants and nightclubs.
Hours: Monday through Saturday open daily from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Sundays 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Admission: There is no admission charge to visit the San Antonio
Riverwalk. Free. |
