Our Full Circle Summit Planning Committee has curated the following recommendations for attendees that find themselves in town before or after the Summit and are excited to explore more of the central core of the 7th largest city in the U.S.

Visit the San Antonio Art Museum for both the art and the adaptive reuse of the Lone Star Brewery Complex, built in 1886.

Grab an ice-cold homemade rootbeer and German fare at Schilo’s, San Antonio’s oldest restaurant.
