While vast desserts and the countryside may spring to mind when you think of Texas, there’s plenty more to do that only gives more truth to the saying, “everything’s bigger in Texas”! Brace yourself for a larger-than-life holiday experience in the Texan city of San Antonio. Even if you decide to travel there solo, there are a variety of tourist sites and travel activities you can see and do even when alone. So, book a vacation rental like a cabin, pack up your bags, and get ready to try these awesome things to do alone in San Antonio for yourself!
1. San Antonio hop-on hop-off bus tour (from USD 48.7)
One of the best ways to soak up everything a city has to offer is by taking your leisurely time to do so. The hop-on hop-off bus tour is perfect for just that! With tickets that last either a full day or over a few days, you can tailor your sightseeing visits to the type of traveller you are —whether you’re the kind that loves to jam pack all your activities in a day, or whether you’d prefer to space out your activities so you can take the time to see each one. Especially since you’re travelling alone, the choice is yours! The bus takes you to popular sites like the HemisFair Park, the top shopping areas, and the quiet River Walk where there’s plenty of restaurants and shops.
