The Alamo is free but timed entry to the church must be reserved online, and it sells out on weekends.
Four missions south of the Alamo form a UNESCO World Heritage site linked by a 15 mile bike and walking trail.
The River Walk sits a level below the street. Lifts exist but they are easy to miss, so plan routes if you have mobility needs.
