15 Best Things To Do in St. Louis, Missouri

Picture of St. Louis, Missouri

About St. Louis


The major chunk of St. Louis’s popularity comes from the fact that it’s the largest Missouri city, lying underneath the junction of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers. Historically, the city is known as the West’s Gateway because Europeans went through here to rule over the Wild West.

The Gateway Arch is today the most iconic and popularly visited attraction in the whole city. The 525-foot high arch is also the tallest US monument, and visitors can take one of the eight elevators in the arch to go to the highest point of the structure.

Another representative building of St. Louis is the Old Courthouse in the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial Park, which is monumental for it is the place where the trial for the right to vote took place.
