We walked most of the San Antonio River walk, especially where it is most congested. But then hopped on a bicycle (a Townie) another day and bicycled from Blue Star Bicycle Shop to the next 4 missions: Concepcion, San Jose, San Juan, and Espada and then back to the bicycle shop. Enjoyed a beer, Brussels sprouts and caprese at Stella... More

We really enjoyed visiting the four Missions. They were all well cared for and each very unique. Very worthwhile adventure.

The City of San Antonio is in the process of linking all of the missions by the Riverfront Walking Trail. However you can drive to each mission. They are all beautiful and a definite to do for attractions while in town.

This was such an interesting time period and the Trail is gorgeous. I learned a lot about the Spanish in America (more than the conquering men at arms) and greatly enjoyed the land. The missions are all beautiful and the landscaping is lovely.

My husband and a friend an I rode our bikes ...actually beginning at Breckenridge Park by the soon ...through downtown and along the Mission Trail. Total was 27 miles and it was a blast!

Fabulous missions from the 1700s, each one unique and worth seeing. Starts with the Alamo, 4 in all within about 12 miles of each other total.

Bike or car works well, but take a GPS if possible to start and follow the signs thereafter. Should see this before seeing the Alamo. Visitor Center at the San Jose mission has a good introduction film to watch. Really experience live three hundred years ago..

There aren't very many places to cycle in San Antonio, so the Mission Trail route tops the short list. The paved trails are great for road bikes and you can ride as much as 30 miles (round trip) if you don't mind exiting Military Dr. and continuing your ride towards the Aqueducts and "Ghost Tracks". The ride is nice (except... More
