When you think of San Antonio, two things automatically come to mind: the Alamo and the River Walk. The River Walk was conceived in 1929. Downtown had serious flood problems, and Robert Hugman suggested that the city turn the San Antonio River into an asset rather than a hindrance. Hugmans brainchild has since become the essence of the city. The citys most popular attraction, it is often crowded and filled with children, partygoers, tourists and locals. In the heart of the River Walk is an area filled with restaurants, shops and nightclubs, punctuated by fountains and towering Cypress trees. There is no guardrail, so be careful (although the river is shallow enough that you can stand in it). If you dont like rowdiness or crowds, it is best to stay away during events and festivals. The River Walk is particularly crazy during Fiesta.
