San Antonio Gay and Lesbian Travel Tips

  • Turn-of-the-century style streetcars travel between popular tourist stops on four convenient downtown routes. Or opt for the river taxis that cruise you through the downtown area at a more leisurely pace.
  • Most hotels advertise rates that don’t include the steep 16.75 percent room tax. Hotel prices are highest from November through April, when conventions can swamp the town.
  • Not only is summer the hottest and most humid time of year, it’s when restaurants and attractions tend to be crowded. Summer weekends can also see an influx of Texan visitors as well.

Gay and Lesbian Travel Overview: San Antonio, Texas

One of Texas's most colorful cities, San Antonio is also rich in history, as it was for a long time the largest city in Texas and the natural crossroads of American and Mexican cultures. Not only is it famous as the home of The Alamo, it's also America's capital for Tejano music and the host of many Hispanic-flavored street festivals and fiestas. Downtown's Riverwalk is a leafy, meandering area with excellent restaurants and shopping. Southtown, with its Latin shops and galleries, celebrates its art scene with the monthly First Friday, a kind of extended block party. The surrounding region is Texas Hill Country, one of the most picturesque areas in the state. No wonder San Antonio is a popular destination for even Texan travelers. Read More
