Only a Glimpse of San Antonio in 36 Hours

We have been telling you for a while now that San Antonio is one of the best cities in the world because there is so much to do and see. That is one of the reasons we offer extended vacation rentals in San Antonio.

The word finally got out to our friends at the New York Times—we’re guessing that they heard from us—and one of their travel writers did a story on their 36 hours in San Antonio. Take it from us—and we’re talking to you Times reporter—36 hours is only enough to get a glimpse of all that San Antonio has to offer. Next time make sure to book an extended stay at Dwelling Suites and spend 36 days in San Antonio if you really want to see what this great city has to offer.

36 Hours in San Antonio The Missions of San Antonio, five 18th-century Catholic outposts including the Alamo, erected by the Spanish, are strung out from downtown south over nearly eight miles. The southern expansion of the River Walk generally traces the route, and the presence of the shared bike service B Cycle (rentals $12 a day) at every mission means cyclists can bike from site to site by following the river. Most, including the unadorned stone Mission Concepción, the whitewashed Mission San Juan and the more rural Mission Espada, post information for self-guided tours. Don’t miss the largest and most fully restored, Mission San José, which offers films and talks on mission history. Non-bikers can hop the new Viva Missions (No. 40) bus route (one-day pass, $2.75).

Dock your B Cycle north of downtown at the Luxury, now remodeled, a compound of picnic tables, chair swings overlooking the River Walk and a pair of cargo containers, one repurposed as a kitchen with a food-truck-style window, and the other a beer-centric bar. Its name might be odd for what is essentially a beer garden, but there’s nothing indirect about the food, including buttermilk chicken sandwiches ($9.75), six-ounce burgers ($9.75) and addictive twice-blanched fries ($4.50). read more at nytimes.com
