Roundtrip Texas Eagle rail getaway from Chicago to San Antonio

Illustration of San Antonio Ultimate Getaway Roundtrip from Chicago

Amtrak Vacations runs this San Antonio Ultimate Getaway as a 6-day, 5-night roundtrip from Chicago, riding the Texas Eagle both ways. The $619 USD price includes the roundtrip rail fare, 3 nights of hotel accommodations in San Antonio, and a multi-day Hop-On Hop-Off sightseeing pass covering attractions such as the Alamo, the Riverwalk, Market Square, and the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park. No day-by-day itinerary is published, and since the Texas Eagle journey between Chicago and San Antonio runs well over a day each way, travelers should confirm with the operator how the 6 days split between rail travel and time in the city. This suits Midwestern travelers who want a rail-based San Antonio break with sightseeing already arranged.
