The Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center
With a population of over one million, San Antonio, Texas is big in every way. Each year more than twenty six million people visit the shining star of Texas, and it’s easy to see why. The Alamo, a famous fort where Texans fought for independence from Mexico, is just one of the many historic landmarks the city offers. Unlike many modern cities, San Antonio has managed to transition into contemporary times without losing site of its past.
The River Walk is a good example of that – the mix of Spanish, Mexican, and Texan influences is clearly apparent in the flavor and historical architecture. The River Walk, spanning almost 4 miles, is a beautiful stretch of cobblestone and flagstone paths along the San Antonio River. While visiting, you can partake in a variety of cultural activities from live music, river boat dining, and even a Mexican rodeo. From its friendly residents, Texas home-style cooking and renowned Mexican fare to exciting nightlife, it's no wonder that so many people call San Antonio home and so many more travel to Texas to visit this timeless city on the river.
Past or present, old or young, San Antonio offers something for everyone.
