Beginning May 30, tourists exploring San Antonio’s famous underground River Walk can see more of the city without navigating street-level traffic. A 1.2-mile extension of the River Walk now connects such popular destinations as El Mercado and the Southtown arts district, and—for the first time—allows River Walk pedestrian access to the San Antonio Museum of Art. Also new: Water taxis will ferry passengers from numerous stations along the waterway. See www.sariverfoundation.org.
