Tell Us Your Travel Tips for San Antonio
Forget the Alamo – what else is great about San Antonio? We’ve already visited Hack Your City in Houston and Austin , but San Antonio is the seventh largest city in the country with over 30 million visitors a year. What are these visitors missing out if they are just performing the greatest hits?
Every Monday onHack Your City, we ask readers for the best tips about the city: driving tips, restaurant tips, entertainment, and any other tips for visitors and locals alike. Then, on Thursday, we present the best comments. We work in the USA and around the world.
What’s good (and what’s bad) about San Antonio? Where do you love to eat, drink, have fun and get to know the culture? What are some good drunken arcades, thrift stores, art museums, flagship stores, parks, theaters, local sports, burgers, barbecues, vegan establishments, dive bars, cocktail bars, cafes, record stores, and novelty shops? What can you do for free? What can you do with your family? What’s too crowded on Friday and better on Tuesday?
What is life like when you live there? How do you travel around the city and how to stay cool? What has changed in the city since you first moved there (or were born there) and how did you deal with it? What local laws and customs do you need to get used to?
That people are wrong about San Antonio? (We just learned that the Alamo is downtown, a block from Jimmy John.) What do you want visitors to stop doing? What would you like them to start doing?
When you want to get out of town, where do you go? Are you heading to Austin, Houston, Mexico, some quiet place in between? What makes a good day trip or weekend getaway?
Let us know in the comments and we’ll collect the highlights in a new post on Thursday.
