A Weekend in San Antonio, San Antonio, Texas

San Antonio is a great place to spend a couple of days, either as a weekend trip or as part of a larger vacation in conjunction with other major cities in Texas. You’ll find there’s a lot more to do there than remember the Alamo.

You’re in Texas, so kick off your stay in San Antonio by doing something local. Regardless of your interests, you’ll find something in the city to fit your preferences. And I don’t know about you but the first thing I do when I get somewhere is eat. You can enjoy some of the best barbecue the city has to offer at The Big Bib. But if you’re starving and looking for a quick, and equally tasty option, try Smoke Shack, which is a food truck turned restaurant (though the food truck is still around).

After dinner, I recommend catching a show at the historic Majestic Theatre. Built in 1929, it still hosts regular events like comedy shows, concerts, and live theater. Not only can you enjoy something fun and unique, you can see the inside of the San Antonio’s oldest theatre.

But if sports are more your speed, then you might want to check out a Spurs Game at the AT&T Center. In recent years, the San Antonio Spurs have enjoyed national recognition with four NBA Championships since 2003. It’s always fun to check out the local sports culture, even if you hate basketball (and I definitely do). ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
