San Antonio is a year-round destination, but the best time to visit is between November – April when hotel rates are at their lowest, and there are fewer tourists. You can enjoy several local festivals without waiting long or competing with other tourists for space. Average temperatures remain around 60 – 70 degrees Fahrenheit during this time. Summer months from May – October see an influx of local and international visitors. Keep in mind that the high humidity and temperatures exceeding 90 degrees Fahrenheit can cause heat exhaustion as you explore various sites and attractions in the city. Not to mention, the significantly higher hotel rates will make you sweat even more during this time! Remember to wear sunscreen and drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated, especially when you are out and about.
