Downtown San Antonio, the city and metro area's urban core, encompasses many of the city's famous structures, attractions, and businesses.

Due to the size of the city and its horizontal development, downtown accounts for less than one half of one percent of San Antonio's geographic area.<ref>{{Cite web|title=The Value of U.S. Downtowns and Center Cities|url=https://centrosanantonio.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/VODT17_San-Antonio_final.pdf|access-date=December 13, 2020|website=centrosanantonio.org|page=18}}{{Dead link|date=March 2021 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> The Strip (north of Downtown) houses a concentration of clubs and bars catering to the [[LGBT]] community.<ref>{{Cite news |last1=Arredondo |first1=Camelia |last2=Juarez |first2=Joe |date=2023-10-23 |title=City Council taking steps to protect, fund Main Ave strip through proposed cultural heritage designation |url=https://www.ksat.com/news/local/2023/10/23/city-council-taking-steps-to-protect-fund-main-ave-strip-through-proposed-cultural-heritage-designation/ |access-date=2023-10-23 |work=KSAT |language=en}}</ref>
