This mission was my favorite. It is absolutely beautiful and in pristine condition, and is mostly unrestored. If you only had time to go to one - go here. It is free, parking is free, and there is a ton of parking. As a single young female, I didn't feel unsafe at any time. More

This mission was quite far (although the other two were farther out). It was pretty inside, but a quick look around is more than enough. It's in a rough neighborhood and I didn't really want to linger with my elderly grandmother in tow. More

One of two missions on the Alamo Trolley. Trolley gives you 45 minutes to see the mission and it's more than enough. Mission is unimproved and beautiful. More

This will only take about 30 minutes but it is intriguing. It showcases some original wall painting and other work that has not been restored. More
