Highlights of San Antonio

The perfect quick trip tour!

The Alamo - The most famous spot in Texas. Where Davy Crockett, Colonel William Barrett Travis, Jim Bowie and 186 other died fighting for independence on March 6, 1836, after repeated attacks from Mexican General Santa Anna. Originally established in 1718 as San Antonio’s first mission, The Alamo is located in the heart of the city, inside beautifully landscaped grounds.

Mission San Jose – Founded in 1720, San Jose became the largest of the Texas missions with up to 300 inhabitants at one time. It is now fully restored and showcases exquisite carvings on the church and the famous “Rose Window,” renowned as one of the finest examples of Spanish Colonial art in the country.

Market Square – El Mercado – A visit to historic Market Square is a unique and exciting experience. From the famous 24-hour restaurant and bakery, Mi Tierra, to an outstanding art gallery and century-old pharmacy, this is a great place to shop for extraordinary gifts and souvenirs or to just relax. Visitors can browse the 32 shops at “El Mercado,” as well as the 80 specialty shops in Farmers, Market Plaza.

Mission Concepcion - Visit Mission Concepcion and be transported back in time to the era of Spanish conquest, and experience the strength of the Friars who Christianized the Native Americans. Learn how the Spanish developed the mission system within the San Antonio area 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.
