Lots of unique shops and restaurants in a beautiful setting. There is also a Farmer's Market every Saturday morning.
Wonderful western art museum in downtown with great exhibits on Texas history.
For those looking for something active, bike or hike the mission trail which takes you to different missions around the city (be prepared, the full trail is long). You can also drive to the missions. We'd especially recommend visiting Mission San Jose (and The Alamo, of course).
For those with kids, this is an interactive children's museum located on Broadway close to the Pearl Brewery, the Witte Museum, and downtown.
Great for adults and kids!
Delicious Mexican food in a fun atmosphere. We recommend their famous Chispa ( a refreshing and potent margarita).
Offers a variety of very tasty options from beef bolognese, to oysters, to parisa.
