About SanAntonioTravel.com

SanAntonioTravel.com is an independent guide to San Antonio, written by Maureen Cunningham, a San Antonio-area local and lifelong traveler.

This city is easy to love and surprisingly easy to do badly: a rushed hour at the Alamo, an overpriced dinner on the busiest bend of the river, and a flight home without ever seeing the missions or eating a proper breakfast taco. This site exists so your trip goes the other way.

Who this site is for

• First-time visitors who want a clear plan: what to see, where to stay, how to get around, and what to skip.
• Locals and nearby Texans looking for weekend ideas, new places to eat, and events worth leaving the house for.
• Road-trippers passing through on the way to the Hill Country or the coast.

How the guides are made

Every guide is written to answer the questions a friend would ask before visiting. Hours, prices, dates and rules are checked against official sources (venue sites, the National Park Service, the City of San Antonio and event organizers) and each guide lists the sources it relied on. Things change, though, so always confirm with the venue before you go.

How the site makes money

Some guides include affiliate links to hotels, tours and activities. If you book through one, the site may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. That never decides what gets recommended, and the guides will tell you when something isn't worth it.
