The Shops at La Cantera: San Antonio Shopping

San Antonio is home to some great shopping, and you'll find some of the best in the city at The Shops at La Cantera. Nestled in the northwest corner of the city near the Loop 1604 and I-10 interchange, the open-air mall opened to the public in 2005 to rave reviews. Since then, it’s undergone a significant expansion to attract even more retail tenants.

The architecture is charming, with a Hill Country vernacular vibe that gives the storefronts different facades and elegant water features. Anchor stores include the first Nordstrom and Nieman Marcus in San Antonio, as well as Macy’s. The mall is enormous, with over 150 restaurants and shops. There are plenty of places to eat as well if you get peckish.

If you visit, wear comfortable shoes, as this San Antonio mall offers a lot to see!
