Hays Street Bridge — Attraction in San Antonio

Looking for a free city view in San Antonio, we ventured to the Hays Street Bridge. While not the postcard panorama I initially imagined, it turned out to be a pretty cool and definitely memorable spot! The bridge itself is a neat piece of urban architecture, offering a unique perspective.

The main drawback for our family was the parking situation. We ended up on a side where there was a noticeable presence of people experiencing homelessness, and a few in our group felt a bit uneasy.

They even do yoga classes here. You can see the Amtrack passing by, or at least I did. It was pretty cool; and see trains passing by from over heard. It's awesome. Even the Alamo Brewery is beneath. It has lights on the bridge. And it's even big enough to remind me a bit like the Santa Monica pier if you'd ever been there.... A...

We randomly went to the bridge the other day because my husband finally gave in after years of bugging him. It was a nice day out so we were able to stay there for a while to walk around and take pictures. We all had fun and the views were beautiful. I understand why everyone in San Antonio goes there to take pictures all the time. On our way down the stairs we saw there was a rock garden that had colors available for people to contribute to the garden with their own art. I thought it was pretty cool. Some people were very creative coloring the rocks. There was also a mural under the bridge that was pretty cool too. We took two kids with us and both of them...
