Have 4 nights in San Antonio at the end of next month. Anyone been? Any suggestions for things to do (other than the Alamo), places to stay? Thanks
 
Nope (other than the airport) .. but I've been to Austin a couple of times which is about 1 hr drive away - if you get bored in San Antonio Austin has a nice downtown area with a pretty lively night life (good music scene I believe)

Going to a BBQ restuarant is a must in those parts .. I've been to this place which is between San Antonio and Austin - http://www.saltlickbbq.com/ .. it's well worth the trip - make sure you go hungry !
 
took a drive up once to the Outlet Village just outside S.Antonio

If its bargains & shopping you could kill a few hours here

We stayed in Austin which I think was just under an hour away. Well worth a visit
 
San Antonio is quite a nice place. The main attraction other than the Alamo (which isn't that great) is the Riverwalk. An old commercial canal area that has been done up very very nicely with about a mile of bars and restaurants. Well worth visiting and probably spending most of your time in that area.

Other than that, it's a large American city and not all that great for pedestrians.
 
Thanks everyone!

We have sorted car hire and are staying near the Riverwalk. So impresses with www.visitsanantonio.com - the savings are huge, saved $80 a night on our hotel compared to their advertised rates. Other great discounts and suggestions too. Can't wait now!
 
Nice town, all the bars/restaurants are at the riverwalk. Town centre is walkable. The Alamo is interesting also. Is a fairly busy town as is quite popular for business meetings/conventions. Weather should be nice at end of Sept. I stayed at the Westin (up to usual high Westin standards). Found locals quite friendly. Have not been to Austin but have heard good reports about that also
