5 Neighborhoods in San Antonio That You Shouldn't Miss

July 24, 2021 Dorsey Hagwood

Step to the beat of wafting flamenco music as you wander the downtown River Walk before sampling as much chili (San Antonio’s signature dish) as your taste buds will allow. A visit to the Alamo is an absolute must, as is taking in a show at the ornate Majestic Theatre. San Antonio Missions National Historical Park is dotted with 18th-century buildings and features, making for an enriching excursion.

La Villita Historic Arts Village

Located on the South bank of the San Antonio River, La Villita was one of San Antonio’s first neighborhoods and served in several iconic, historic Texas moments. In 1939, Mayor Maury Maverick dedicated the Mission of La Villita to preserving Arts and Culture, fostering an environment where local Artisans can produce works and share in cultural community engagement and events. A quaint and peaceful City park, La Villita is also listed on the National Registry of Historic Districts. Over 25 galleries, boutiques, and restaurants in the nature-filled block offer unique art, oil paintings, sculptures, watercolors, metalwork, rock art, textiles, copper wares, jewelry, stained glass, regional folk-art, and award-winning culinary provisions. Hours of Operation: Mon-Sat. 10AM - 6PM Sun. 11AM - 4PM

A village of historic buildings which fell into disrepair through the years has now been repurposed as a pretty, flower filled area of shops and restaurants. Art galleries, gift shops featuring Mexican folk art and jewelry by local artists, copper shop, and many other interesting shops to explore. Restrooms are also on the premises. Friendly shopkeepers add to the experience. Definitely worth a stop.
