6 days in San Antonio Itinerary

As the state’s second largest city, San Antonio embodies Texas’ rich cultural heritage while maintaining the Old West charm of an oil town.

Venture out of the city with trips to National Museum of the Pacific War (in Fredericksburg), Austin (Lady Bird Lake Hike-and-Bike Trail, Texas State Capitol, &more) and Schlitterbahn Waterpark New Braunfels (in New Braunfels). Pack the 5th (Tue) with family-friendly diversions at SeaWorld. There's still lots to do: find something for the whole family at Six Flags Fiesta Texas, pause for some serene contemplation at San Fernando De Bexar Cathedral, shop like a local with The San Antonio River Walk, and walk around Friedrich Wilderness Park.
