We visited the King William district on the day of their fiesta. What a wonderful experience. A huge area was cordoned off for a massive arts fair. The vendors had a splendid variety of interesting and affordable arts. There was also a large food selection and various bands were playing , including marching bands, mariachi, Celtic and blues. All this...

Walked this area after lunch on a SUNNY afternoon. Very easy to wilt in the heat while reading the INFORMATIVE tour guide. Not too much shade in some areas even tho there are lots of trees. Nice later section of walking tour goes along the river (new walk section). Do it on a cloudy day if possible.

In order to get the most out of your stroll through these mansions be sure to pick up a printed walking tour available at the Visitor Information Center. We got ours at the Center near the Alamo.

So, once you've been to the missions, you might want to go over to the King William Historic District. I've gone and toured several of the houses and I enjoyed it.

We stayed at Eva's Escape and really enjoyed walking around the King William Historic District. It is beautiful in the springtime. There are wonderful restaurants and it is walking distance to downtown.

A lady at the visitor center across from the Alamo recommended this area and we are glad she did. We obtained a walking tour map at the center and greatly enjoyed walking around the area and reading about the houses, most of which are very well maintained.
I regret we were too late in the day to visit the places...
