I had to travel to San Antonio for work. I was blown away by how friendly the locals were and the amount of restaurants. I will definitely come back with my family. Loved it.

[@jahzzii7]

One of the nicest cities I've ever visited.

Just got back from SA, Canyon Lake (which is drying up), New Braunsfels, and Austin. It was fun, lots of good food, but also lots of driving with minimal scenic views along the way. Overall, my favorite thing was stoping in the town of Gruene, waiting for a table at a restaurant under the shade trees with a bottle of Lonestar and just chilling. That was probably the calmest feeling I ever had. Looking around at other people sitting at the many picnic tables around us, I could tell it was just as peaceful to them, as my family and I!

Thanks for sharing👏🏽

Great Video!

Looking forward to go there again, I'm planning to relocate there and this is the second time I'll be visiting just to explore my options, I get what some people say about safety and crime, but that probably depends where you at and where you live, at this point I just don't want to live in Washington state anymore, it's making me depressed.

[@sabinolibros8052]

There are some sketchy areas, but the city in general is pretty safe. I have lots of family there and no one has ever been a victim of a crime

[@abrahamgonzalez6226]

We are an 1 hour and 10 mins away from Austin not 2 hours unless you considering traffic

[@jimhertwig2220]

I can’t believe you didn’t mention the Menger and the Crockett Hotels in your discussion of downtown hotels. Both are adjacent to the Alamo and a short stroll to the River Walk.

Not sure why almost every video about San Antonio features the puffy taco at Ray's Drive Inn restaurant. I've lived here all my life and have yet to go there. There are some of the great museums in town, such as the Briscoe Western Art Museum, The Witte, the McNay modern art museum, the San Antonio Museum of Art, and the Doseum, the museum for kids. Other sites are the San Antonio Zoo, the Botanical Garden, and the Japanese Tea Garden. Just for kicks, there is Six Flags Fiesta Texas and Sea World.

Planning a trip and this video was very helpful. Any thoughts about going to the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo?

[@ew8741]

Nowhere is safe at night

[@Danyoo178]

@@CCCC-tq8yo😂hell no it’s not Texas is ass! I was raised in San Antonio I remember the homeless we had, were well known like Elvis RIP. Now it’s just infested with a bunch of fucking drug addict and mentally ill bumbs causing unnecessary trouble with little to no consequences from authority. Downtown near the jail was the spawn zone😂 and that was it. There were lots of Woods and parks that never had homeless now there’s entire camps. The whole U.S is meth/Fentanyl infested. And the fact that everything is so expensive now isn’t helping crime no matter where you go. There’s no longer a safe haven.

Riverwalk!

[@nadeemmujeeb1851]

Lived in San Antonio in early eighties, will someone help me get back their

[@XthepumpkinqueenxXx]

What kind of "help" do you need "getting back"?

[@mattreyes1026]

[@kentshore5473]

Keep San Antonio weird

[@jeffsteele1295]

Just do not understand why the Alamo is in San Antonio , Texas. Most humans feel connected if they can touch such places or things that is or was connected to the place that is in our history. If you wish to touch the land where so many Great leaders gave their lives you will need to go father south in Texas to Alamo , Texas. This is the place where David Crockett and Jim Bowie as well as many others gave their live for the Great State of Texas, and the United States. I guess its just closer for people to come and see something that is hundreds of miles closer ?

[@Kur0miiiii]

What is bro yapping about 💀💀

[@Disneylife4me]

Uhhhh that is where the fort was built..where the battle happened.

[@saltylid242]

What the fuck Jeff
