Antes de ir
Desde el aeropuerto
San Antonio International Airport (SAT) is about 8 miles north of downtown. The most affordable option is VIA Metropolitan Transit bus #5, which takes about 45 minutes and costs $1.30. Ride-shares (Uber/Lyft) cost $20-35 to downtown and take 15-20 minutes. Taxis are a flat rate of approximately $30 to downtown. Rental car facilities are on-site.
Cómo moverse
Downtown, the River Walk, and the Pearl District are highly walkable and pleasant. However, attractions are spread out (e.g., missions, zoo), making a car, ride-share, or bus necessary for a comprehensive visit.
Consejos de la zona
- Buy a $12 Day Pass for VIA's Primo express buses and regular routes—it's the cheapest way to reach the missions via bus #40 from downtown, saving you on ride-shares.
- For the best River Walk experience, explore the Museum Reach (north of downtown) or the Mission Reach (south) for fewer crowds, beautiful public art, and serene pathways.
- Parking downtown is expensive. Use city-operated garages like the Rivercenter Mall garage or find street parking in Southtown and walk or take a river barge into the core.
