Stops will be made at these sites and Admission is included:

The Alamo: The most famous spot in Texas, where David Crockett, Colonel William Barrett Travis, Jim Bowie and 186 others died fighting for independence on March 6, 1836, after repeated attacks from Mexican General Santa Anna. Originally established in 1718 as the city's first mission, The Alamo is located in the heart of San Antonio, inside beautifully landscaped grounds. Step inside The Alamo and see where brave defenders fought and died. Walk through the Long Barracks Museum, home to exhibits that tell the story of Texas, its settlement, revolution, and later efforts to save the Alamo from disuse and disrepair. Visit the Gift Museum to see more Alamo artifacts and to purchase souvenirs.

Market Square /El Mercado: A visit to historic Market Square is a unique and exciting experience.

Visitors can browse the 32 shops at El Mercado, an area patterned after an authentic Mexican market, as well as the 80 specialty shops in Farmer's Market Plaza.

Mission San Jose: Founded in 1720, it became the largest and best known of the Texas missions, with up to 300 inhabitants at one time. The mission is now fully restored and boasts several unique features, including exquisite carvings on the church and the famous "Rose Window," considered to be one of the finest pieces of Spanish Colonial ornamentation in the country.

Mission Concepcion: Go back in time to the era of Spanish conquest. Learn how the Spanish developed the mission system within the San Antonio area and Texas and how they and Native Americans lived and worked in the mission era. View the original frescoes still visible within the rooms of the mission. Mission Concepcion is the oldest unrestored stone church in America today, and it is still an active parish.
