Uncover the Best Things to Do in San Antonio

22 Have a fiesta at San Antonio Market Square

You can't come to San Antonio and not spend part of your weekend at Historic Market Square at the River Walk. From the sombrero-donning Mariachi bands and delicious Tex-Mex food to the colorful handcrafted wares and Folklorico dancing, immerse yourself in the city's rich Latin culture at the largest Mexican market north of Mexico.

The Mercado is airconditioned, so it's a pleasant experience all year round. Take cash for vendors that don't accept other forms of payment, and try and make it in time for annual events such as Cinco de Mayo and Dia de Los Muertos.
