Here are some fantastic parks in San Antonio.
Brackenridge Park
The park was first established in 1899 and has been popular with both locals and visitors ever since. Towering trees and peaceful riverbanks will greet guests along the park’s paths, and the facilities include playgrounds, museums, a miniature train, a Japanese tea garden, and one of the oldest golf courses in the city.
Friedrich Wilderness Park
In the park, you’ll find about 10 miles of paved(铺过的)and unpaved trails(路线), with a little something for everyone. From rocky climbs to deep canyons, and enchanting forests to open views, there’s no shortage of natural beauty. The area is nationally famous for birdwatching.
San Antonio Missions National Historical Park
The park is the state’s only one on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Site. It covers quite a large area, so it’s best to make it a full-day or at least a half-day trip so you can be sure to cover everything. While the Alamo is a separate attraction, you will get to enjoy the architectural wonders of Mission Concepcion, Mission San Jose, Mission San Juan, and Mission Espada. They’re all connected by a hike and bike trail, with plenty of stops along the way to picnic, climb trees, and refill water. Admission is free!
Eisenhower Park
Just a 20-to 30-minute drive from the city center, the park puts the best landscapes in the Texas Hill Country on full display, holding 6 miles of hiking trails, both paved and unpaved. Explore dried creek beds, look out over plunging canyons, and enjoy full views of San Antonio down below. You can also find playgrounds for the little ones, picnic tables, and barbecue facilities.

Experience easy-to-reach city traffic.
London is usually the visitor’s first choice.
Taking a walk around the city is easy since there are maps in the streets to show you what is within a five-minute walk.

Walk east towards the City, the capital’s financial district, and you won’t fail to find St Paul’s Cathedral. It was rebuilt after the Great Fire of London in 1666. Take a friend up to the Whispering Gallery in the dome, stand on different sides and have a conversation by putting your ear to the wall and speaking very softly to each other.

【推荐2】Here’s our pick of the most beautiful European cities with hardly any tourists:
Orange, France
While Avignon draws in thousands of tourists thanks to its summer festival and amazing Popes’ Palace, nearby Orange is usually unnoticed. Easier to travel around, with far fewer visitors, the city’s key attraction is the Roman Theater, which was built in the first century AD.
Norwich, England
The saying goes that Norwich has a pub for every day of the year and a church for every Sunday. While that’s perhaps far from the truth, this most typical of English cities is certainly home to some of the most attractive medieval architecture in England.
Norwich Cathedral dates back to 1096 and the streets of Colegate and Elm Hill are home to picturesque, centuries-old homes.
Aarhus, Denmark
Denmark’s second largest city is considered to be less attractive than its capital Copenhagen. But Aarhus makes a perfect choice for a Danish long weekend thanks to its pretty beaches, towering Domkirke and the great ARoS Aarhus Art Museum.
ARoS’s Wine and Food Hall is one of the best places in the city to try delicious Nordic food.
Antwerp, Belgium
The UNESCO-protected Cathedral of Our Lady occupies the Antwerp skyline, but there’s so much more to this Belgian city than its most famous building.
There’s also the Red Star Line Museum, located on Antwerp’ old docks, which shows the city’s past as a center for migration (移民) to the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

【推荐3】In many countries around the world, more and more people live in cities. Cities share many similar things, but are also different from country to country.
MEXICO
Mexico s cities are modern but have many traditional Indian and Spanish things. The most important buildings are around a central square, which is also a place to meet with friends. There are outdoor marketplaces, where people can find almost anything they need. On Sundays, parks are popular places for families. Many people move to Mexico City from the countryside. It has a lot of excitements, but also lots of traffic and air pollution.
JAPAN
Japan s cities also have a mix of traditional and modern things. There are tall office and apartment buildings as well as traditional wooden houses. Many people would like to live near the center of cities, but because houses there are too expensive, they have to take public buses or trains from faraway places. Traffic, pollution, and crowds are problems. However, there is little crime, and even very crowded cities have many parks and gardens.
AUSTRALIA
Although 80% of Australians live near cities, the cities are not as large as those in some other countries. Most people live in houses in the outer area of the cities—not in apartment. The areas also have their own churches, schools, and shopping centers. In large cities, like Sydney, the areas are often far from the center town. Though many people take public buses and trains to work, traffic is slow and there are many traffic jams.
