 Many shops by kyoub Bring an empty piece of luggage with you because you will need it to take everything back home with you, that you bought here.
Comfortable walking shoes are a must. Everything else you can buy after you arrive. There are so many malls, you can shop until you drop.
You will want to take a lot of pictures so don't forget to bring your camera.
Don't forget to use the sunscreen that you brought or bought. Leave a Comment

 Guide to San Antonio's historic district by VeronicaG San Antonio can be boiling hot in the summer, so dress accordingly. Hats are the best defense again the sun--also be sure to use your sunblock. In the winter, the wind can get gusty and weather cold, so my recommendation is to dress in layers. The mornings will be cool, the afternoon warming and getting cool again as night falls.
This map will guide you on a walking tour of the various districts of San Antonio. If staying along the River Walk, La Villita is easy to find.

 The Gift of the Magi by nomorewars Prior to visiting San Antonio, I suggest becoming acquainted with the written works of William Sydney Porter (better known by his pen name O’ Henry), a writer whose work is widely known for its wit, wordplay, warm characterization, & clever twist endings. Porter spent some time in San Antonio, using the city as a complete setting in his short stories “A Fog in Santone" & "The Enchanted Kiss," both of which are fantastic works. Though either one of these books are an enjoyable read, I prefer Porter’s “The Gift of the Magi,” a story that depicts an average couple who lack the necessary funds to purchase each other presents for Christmas. While acting in complete secrecy, the couple sells their most prized possessions in order to buy the other a present. It's a rather humorous storyline that has been copied, re-worked, parodied, & re-told on countless occasions since it was written. Leave a Comment

Casual and dressy casual will get you into most places in San Antonio. Even at The Fig Tree a tie was not required. Be sure you have comfortable walking shoes! Don’t forget your sunglasses and a hat to shade your face. Leave a Comment

by Kodi01 This is the natural caverns located north of San Antonio. I have not been in them, but they are probably cool and damp.
Rain gear, bathing suits, shorts because it gets hot here.
Suntan lotion. Leave a Comment

by rids Shorts, and more shorts. It is HOT here! Flat shoes would be good for walking along the Riverwalk. Don't forget wide brim hats and sunglasses :) Even dogs need them.
Whatever meds you prefer to help recover from partying hearty!
You might want a tripod for night photos along the Riverwalk, especially at Christmas when the trees are full of colored lights.
DON'T stay in the *great outdoors* if it is anytime from June thru September, unless you are floating in a river or in a pool. Leave a Comment

Bring some pants and long-sleeved shirts for the evenings...it can cool off quite a bit. Also, during the months of Feb-April, it can get pretty chilly too at times with rainy weather. Bring a light jacket.
Bring sunscreen!! Other than the few cooler months in spring, it is quite warm, especially late summer. Wear sunscreen to prevent burning. Leave a Comment

Any normal luggage will do.
If you come in the summer, bring lots of walking shorts and short-sleeve shirts. Dress is very casual in San Antonio, and only in the nicest restaurants do you need to wear slacks or more formal attire. You'll also want to bring a swimsuit either to take in the sun's rays at the hotel park or in one of the cities several theme parks. If you come in the winter, bring a mix of clothes. February tends to be the coldest month, but the temperature can vary greatly. It can be below freezing or it can be hot. I've been in San Antonio for Christmas where I've had to wear shorts is was so hot. Hard freezes happen about a few days every year, and snow is extremely rare.
Whatever you don't bring, you can easily find.
Definitely bring your camera.
If you're a serious golfer, bring your clubs.
