You can’t talk about San Antonio without mentioning the River Walk! Take a River cruise on one of the barges to really sit back and enjoy the Christmas lights, or walk around for a stunning display. From the bridges to the barges to all of the businesses in between, the River Walk combines the culture of San Antonio with the spirit of Christmas.
