Head to San Antonio for an enjoyable getaway

There's more than just heat in San Antonio, Texas! And when it comes to food, Tex-Mex is just the beginning. This area's rich history is something you'll want to take the time to learn about, just be sure to take a little time to see some of the lesser-known attractions in the city. Save some money with San Antonio deals on Thrifty rental cars.  Then, just drive on over to one of these fine destinations:

The River Walk

Possibly one of the most well-known spots in San Antonio is the River Walk. The pathway - which features a river in the middle, of course - is lined with restaurants, hotels and unique shops. And once you've satisfied your taste buds, learn a little something about the city's history at the Alamo. As you may remember for history class, this is the spot where Davy Crockett once fought. These hotspots are just a short drive in your San Antonio rental car from the airport and center of the city.

What's downtown?

Believe it or not, there's more to San Antonio than history and food. Downtown you will find a ton of events that are put on year-round. With the gorgeous temperature of Texas, here you will find that there's no bad time to visit. Siclovia is one such event, held at the end of September and with free admission. This is the time to check out the city on foot or bike, as you leave your San Antonio car rental at the hotel. You can also enjoy plenty of golfing when vacationing here. In May, the city is host to an annual Downtown Alliance Golf Tournament.
