San Antonio, Texas

F ounded in 1718 around the Alamo mission, San Antonio is unmatched as a destination for learning about fascinating Texas state history, from its Native American occupation, to colonial conquests and the fight for independence. Locals harbour a strong sense of pride surrounding their city’s history and the old battle cry “Remember the Alamo” is a phrase still commonly heard and seen engraved on memorabilia. In addition to the Alamo there are numerous other inspiring colonial Spanish missions scattered throughout the city well worth exploring. Collectively, these form part of the San Antonio Missions National Historic Park, which was officially declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2015 owing to its exquisitely well-preserved buildings.
Other historically significant sights to delve into include the elegant San Fernando Cathedral, the Spanish Governor’s Palace, a handful of insightful museums, as well as the highly prized River Walk replete with historic treasures and authentic architecture. In recent years, the riverside has undergone significant renovation. And now there’s certainly no better place to soak in the heritage of this city than with a stroll beside the waterway, or to unwind after a day’s sightseeing at one of the many enticing sidewalk cafes artfully shaded by colourful umbrellas.
