Went through San Antonio over the weekend for a funeral. Stayed overnight in SA. Made a quick trip to river walk and it was very nice. I would like to go back for a 4/5 day weekend type trip. Any suggestions on hotels, food, things to do etc?
TIA

How is the river walk for the holidays. Pics look pretty cool. Will it be crowded as in a bad time to go?

I think it's about an hour drive, but floating the Frio River out of Concan was an amazing experience. I will definitely do it the next time I'm back in SA.

Drive to Austin and stay there.
Seriously, SA can be done before lunch. It's the Riverwalk and the Alamo. After that, head to Austin.

No
Countless authentic places within an hour or so drive from SA if you want real TX BBQ. Rudy's is a chain.

I went to school down there and sadly this guy is right
did a 3 day weekend in the hill country last month with the wife, did a night in new braunfels and floated the river(highly recommend)
drove to Fredericksburg and did some wine tours(awesome)
went to SA for one night and ate on the riverwalk and then did the Alamo and lunch next day and were ready to GTFO of town. around SA is very nice, downtown area is slum outside of riverwalk and Alamo.
Austin kicks it arse and is an hour north.
I would do 4-5 days, just do 2 days, 1 night in SA, and then consider the above mentioned places, you wont be dissapointed

this ... the river walk is extremely over-rated ... everyone wants to have that nola feel ... the restaurants are 2nd rate at best and generic, the walk itself is very crowded, and the alamo is a hut in the middle of the city ...

So San Antonio isn't "cultured" enough?

Yep, the Hill Country would be a better choice than SA, as well...

I don't mind Rudys but they are on every corner in TX
just saying you will be in the BBQ mecca area and there Rudys is the mcdonalds of the area

Stay at the JW Marriot out in the hill country. Very nice resort with a great golf course and big pool, good food, etc
