The “Gateway City,” St. Louis, has a distinctive skyline and memorable culture. With a population of over 300,000, St. Louis is big enough to be fun, but small enough to make commuting easy. The city is home to some major corporations, such as Anheuser-Busch, Boeing Defense, Energizer, and Panera. But, it may be best known for its famous arch. The 630-foot arch is the tallest in the world and is the tallest man-made structure in the entire Western Hemisphere. So, what is there to actually DO in St. Louis?
The Arch
The Gateway Arch commemorates the beginning of Lewis and Clark’s expedition to map the Western United States. You can ride an elevator to the top of the arch and enjoy the breathtaking views to begin your adventure.
Shopping
Looking for a trendy boutique or fine dining? Try the Central West End or Clayton. There, you will shop to your heart’s content and then enjoy a fine, 5-star meal. Prop up your feet as you rest from breaking in your new Prada pumps, because there is more!
Sports
Busch Stadium is home to the St. Louis Cardinals (11-time world champions, by the way). If you are into soccer, check out the Saint Louis FC at the World Wide Technology Soccer Park. This winter, watch the St. Louis Blues at Scottrade Center for some hockey action.
