The heart of San Antonio is its River Walk. This lush oasis buzzes with activity as people stroll and dine at the river's edge, lined with hotels, event venues and dining options. The heart of the River Walk is the 630,000-square-foot Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center with the Alamodome nearby. The Alamo is found here and, a few blocks away, Market Square flashes with the color and activity of a traditional Mexican mercado.
