What’s in St Louis?
If you want to take your spouse or significant other along, you may not sell the trip with “It’s the wonderful world of asphalt, honey.” Try these instead:
The Gateway Arch, the iconic 630-foot monument is the symbol of westward expansion. Take the specially-built ride that goes up and over the top. There’s nothing like it in the world. Don’t leave town without at least standing under it. After that, there’s 7 more reasons to use this opportunity to visit St Louis:
- Union Station: A railroad station that has been converted into a hotel?! Even if you can’t stay at the hotel, at least have a drink at one of the restaurants and admire the architecture.
- Rich History: St. Louis, close to the center of the continental U.S., is a center of transportation and commerce and was pivotal in the nation’s first interstate project and Route 66.
- Sports Scene: Home to passionate fanbases and teams. The St. Louis Cardinals may not be playing, but you can catch the St Louis Blues when they play the Canadiens on March 25. (See NHL schedule)
