Know before you go

The river taxi/barge tour is a good 35-minute orientation lap if you're short on time.

It connects the Alamo, the Pearl District (via the Museum Reach extension north), and the King William historic district: walkable end to end in 2-3 hours.

Restaurants directly on the water mark up for the view; wander a block up to street level for better value.

Lit up with string lights at night: worth a second, after-dark walk even if you did it in daylight.

Fredericksburg, 63 mi away

Circuit of the Americas, 71 mi away

Lost Creek, 71 mi away
