(15 miles/21 mins) Historic landmark located downtown. Church is free. Guided tour is $40
Timed entry tickets are needed for going into the building itself but the grounds, history panel and bookshop are explored free of charge. There are always tours going on. Stop by the Menger Hotel to find its historic bar, Rough Rider displays and find restrooms (as long as you stop by the bar).
Originally the Mission San Antonio de Valero, the Alamo is by far the most famous historical site in Texas, playing a significant role in Texas' quest for independence from Mexico. Under the command of Col. William Travis, 189 Texan soldiers bravely defended this fort for 13 days before finally succumbing to Santa Anna's massive Mexican army in early 1836.

Narrated tours are available.
