Discover the Magic of the San Antonio River Walk

The River Walk is a very romantic pedestrian that prioritizes the environment on the banks of the San Antonio river. River Walk itself is located in the middle of the city of San Antonio, just below the road like a river below the ground. And is an important part of urban and tourist attraction. The San Antonio River Walk is a green oasis from paved roads with pine trees on the edges, stone bridges and beautiful scenery.

The river in the center of the city is visited by millions of visitors, because of its easy access and close to historic sites in the city of Texas. Colorful colored umbrella umbrellas on the riverbank, where there are various cafes, restaurants and typical River Walk bistros. There is Tex-Mex, delicious barbeque and traditional Italian and contemporary cuisine. The River Walk or Paseo del Rio, is the largest urban ecosystem in the United States.


Today, the River Walk is a very successful area for pedestrians, one level down from the road or underground. River Walk is under the bridge as two sidewalks lined up parallel to restaurants and shops, connecting interesting tours of Fort Alamo and River Center mall. A very beautiful environment, with environmentally sound architecture. Plans along the San Antonio River were developed for river flood control.

Among the plans is to build an upstream dam (Olmos Dam) and cut the prominent river bend in the downtown area (Houston Street and Villita Parkway), then up open the bend, and make a drainage canal. Work began on Olmos Dam and bypass channels in 1926, but the San Antonio Conservation Society managed to protest the choice of paved gutters. There was a big plan coming in 1929, when San Antonio and the original architect Robert Hugman proposed his plan for what would be done with this river.


To walk in this area alone can take 2 days because the place is very beautiful. Observing architecture and the environment, roads are made of blocks and rock. There are several bridges, and this San Antonio river can be crossed by the right and left edges. With an atmosphere like this, how can I not feel something romantic? The café atmosphere in the morning, still quiet. The ducks began to go down to the river, swim with their children and joke with their friends, no need to look for food, because there were already special officers to feed the ducks.
Night boat rides, all look unique and beautiful. The concept of environmental insight is indeed applied in this area. Not only trees, but ducks, geese and fish look attractive even though it's night.
