Definitely the Alamo. The first time I saw it, so much about it surprised me. I didn't even realize exactly what a mission was. It's also striking when you see how those who died were from all over and that it's part of Mexico's history as well.
San Jacinto Mission is definitely worth the trip off the beaten path. It's been restored. They have tours and also church there. It's the largest of the missions.
Eat breakfast tacos somewhere. They have the best breakfast tacos in Texas. Best tortillas are also in SA.
Take the River Walk boat ride tour. It's cheesy, but it's fun and the River Walk is so unique.
The Pearl Brewery area is fun as is the King William district. Guenther House is also great for breakfast. I like La Fonda on Main, La Fogata, Mi Tierra, La Margarita (La Margarita is pretty much the same as Mi Tierra without the bakery and less crowds), and Iron Cactus. La Fonda and La Fogata are old and have pretty outside seating. Their food isn't as great as Iron Cactus, but it's still good.
The Japanese Tea Garden in Brackenridge Park is cool and unexpected. It's pretty near downtown. San Fernando Cathedral lights are great.

Totally agree. In the morning, WALK down the King William neighborhood and eat breakfast at the Guenter house.
Then after breakfast, WALK down the riverwalk back to town. Excellent sights at your pace.
