Taking the mission trail to see all 5 of the missions in San Antonio is worth it if you are a history buff. They are all in very good condition and each is unique in its own way.

When you begin your stay and travel along the route, your first just amazed by what you see.

Then walk into a old stone building and walk...

My wife and I are long term San Antonio residents and casual cyclists. We had heard a lot about the Mission Trail and decided to check it out along with another couple on Mother's Day.

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...

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

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!

The trail is easy to follow, and packed with history. San Jose is the biggest and busiest, but is the perfect starting point, you can appreciate the other, smaller missions more by starting here. We saw all them in about 4hours, not including the Alamo, which is actually the fifth mission. Don't miss this attraction, it is so rich in...

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.
