Very nice district right off the river walk. Great shopping for art and goods. Three plazas of varying sizes used for wedding receptions (see picture) and other celebrations.

Great place for parties, festivals and the like. They also have some really neat shops as well! Definitely an excellent spot to visit, and it's right next to the river walk.

Happened to be here during a festival type event. Very lively and fun environment. The village served as the perfect venue.

This place is absolutely amazing! All of the shops are adorable and tiny, whilst the workers are the most kind and respectful people ever. All of the items here are either organic or handmade.

Amazing little place. Love the arts and crafts. Coffee with ice cream at the cafe is great, but too small a portion.

Where to stay in San Antonio
To be at the heart of San Antonio's buzzing atmosphere and attractions, stay along the city's River Walk. Lined with hotels of all levels, the area is known for excellent dining and nightlife, and is close to all of the city's main sights. While this area tends to be pricier than other neighborhoods, it is the best option for those traveling without a car who want to take full advantage of their vacation time in San Antonio. For a more rustic experience, venture outside of the city limits to stay at one of the old-world guest ranches that dot the beautiful countryside.
