Fall translates to fun travels, from pumpkin patches to grape vines to turning leaves
San Antonio
The "Fiesta City" of South Texas gets travelers fixin’ for a fall fling, thanks to its reputation for fun, festivals, and fantastic attractions like the Alamo, Franciscan and Spanish missions, and Mexican marketplaces. But while summer attracts most of San Antonio’s crowds, fall clears out the masses – and the humidity – allowing prime access to the city's bustling shop-and-café-lined River Walk, top-rated museums, and atmospheric historic districts with Native American, Spanish colonial, German, and Mexican influences. To this palette, autumn also adds colorful cultural festivals like Día De Los Muertos, New World Wine & Food Festival, Oktoberfest, and the Mariachi Vargas Extravaganza, making it an unbeatable time to visit.
How: San Antonio International Airport (SAT) is extremely well served with nonstop service operated from some 40 markets, including Atlanta (AirTran, Delta; 2.5 hours), Chicago (American, United, US Airways; 3 hours), Los Angeles (Southwest, United; 3 hours), and New York (Continental; 4.5 hours).
