The River Walk never fails to inspire; you can find fabulous postcards at almost every bend and curve of the river. No one knows San Antonio better than the San Antonio Official Visitors Information Center, so it’s no surprise they also feature an array of postcards as pleasant as the advice they provide for visiting the entire city. Located in Alamo Plaza across from the Alamo, the center is a fantastic resource for where to find the real-life destination that graces the postcards. From the beloved missions to gorgeous night shots of the River Walk, the postcard selection there is colorful, fun, and plentiful.

Life in Alamo City
While in Alamo Plaza, visit the Shrine of Texas Liberty, the Alamo. A photo in front is a must, but don’t miss taking home a great postcard of the most iconic building in Texas. The Alamo gift shop features fantastic postcard offerings that include silhouettes of the Alamo, as well as a multi-card set featuring all the missions, which are protected landmarks by (UNESCO) United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organizations World Heritage. Tour all five and gather memories to match the postcards. Another Alamo gift option is a postcard that includes a DVD of the Alamo, ensuring that your picture postcard truly tells a story when it arrives. Bonus: any purchases made at the Alamo help raise funds for the building’s preservation, ensuring the Alamo is around for future generations to enjoy. To deepen your experience of the Alamo, visit the Briscoe Western Art Museum. Nestled on the River Walk, the Briscoe Western Art Museum’s collection features Santa Anna’s sword – yes, that Santa Anna – and a diorama of the Alamo that brings the battle to life. Museum gift shops offer an elevated selection, and the Briscoe’s gift shop is no exception with postcards featuring throwbacks to the Old West, with everything from Roy Rogers to vintage cowboy scenes. And purchases help further the Briscoe’s mission of sharing the story of the American west, so you can feel good about stocking up for your postcard collection. thesanantonioriverwalk.com
