The thing we liked is you can walk from one to the next,although it is a long walk. It is interesting to see and hear the history and see the areas that are actually the original.

I lived in San Antonio for a year a while ago, and say all 5 missions (Alamo included) numerous times, and took many great photos of these great buildings. You can get professional photographer results with just a 5 dollar Fuji camera, amazing. My suggested favorites to see are Mission Concepcion, with it's original 290 some year old solid ...

Having grown up in San Antonio, I found the
missions somewhat boring through high school.Once
I moved away, matured and obtained more education
I've found myself missing the Alamo and all other
missions a lot. I miss the beautifulness and warm
atmosphere of the mission and San Antonio itself.
Viva San Antonio! Go Spurs Go!!

Visiting the Missions is a must for anyone who is interested in the history of Texas. So often, Texans believe Texas history began with Stephen F. Austin and the subsequent fight for independence from Mexico. The Spanish Missions show very clearly that the history of Texas goes much further back.
The churches at each Mission also demonstrate how ...

The Mission were one of the main reasons we went to San Antonio and they were well worth it. You can see them all in one day, but San Jose is the best. If you didn't rent a car, you can rent a scooter at very obscure little place called "Delivery Market". If you can find it, make sure you have a full tank of gas before you drive off. They are super fun and a great way to see the Missions. Just make sure you find a good map!

This is an incredible, historic architectural treasure. We didn't get to see the inside of the missions, but it was incredible to just be there, centuries after these majestic structures were built. Highly recommend.

Stumbled onto the Church b accident, it was very pretty and educational. Seemed very holy, I had a hurt leg when I got there.....did not have it when I left. God is present there.

these missions are beautiful! well preserved for their age. very informative. If you like history, you do not want to miss out on a trip to visit them.

Growing up in San Antonio was wonderful. To be able to visit the missions and of course, the Alamo was the best... When you go into the Alamo it is so, so real. TO see the boks, the munintion, the clothes, the flags, it just makes you feel that something very real happened there, The missions still hold that wonderful serene feeling for me.
