Meet me in St. Louis
St. Louis is both a sophisticated, historic city and a casual gathering place. With a rich blues and jazz history and a blossoming arts scene, its spirited nightlife can hold its own against any city in the U.S.
In addition to BBQ and high dining, the city is known for unique snacks like St. Louis style pizza, fried ravioli, and frozen custard. After a dinner reservation, head away from the bustling streets of the metropolis for rolling green vistas nestled on either side of the Mississippi River.
Saint Louis favorites
Famous for its landmarks and free museums, St. Louis is full of novelties.
The Gateway Arch
This gleaming monument to the Great Plains frontiersmen is, to put it modestly, iconic, and still the largest steel arch in the world. Head to Gateway Arch National Park and take a tram ride to the top for spectacular aerial views of the city.
Forest Park
Encompassing 1,300 acres, Forest Park offers more than just natural beauty: with gardens, museums, a zoo, a golf course, and an amphitheatre. Pack a picnic, because you can easily spend a whole day in the park.
City Museum
A repurposed shoelace warehouse, the City Museum is a hybrid playground art project. PIecing together old industrial equipment, local artists have created an imaginative theme park with a 10-story slide, caves, and a castle.

Hit the road
While Saint Louis itself is endlessly fascinating, the surrounding area holds impressive geologic formations, natural beauty, and a literary pilgrimage site. Whether you’re in the mood for swimming, spelunking, or visiting the childhood home of Mark Twain, chances are you’ll find all that and more when you take to the streets in search of road trip adventures.
Book the perfect carMeramec Caverns
About an hour from Saint Louis, this five-mile system of underground caves once served as a shelter for Native Americans and a hideout for the outlaw Jesse James. Today, they’re still one of the most intriguing natural marvels near St. Louis.
Hannibal
Just over two hours up Highway 61 is Mark Twain’s boyhood home: Hannibal. Explore Twain’s childhood home and visit the accompanying museum, then float the Mississippi River a la Huckleberry Finn. You can also take a train ride or ghost tour in this quaint historic town.
Johnson’s Shut-Ins
Two hours south of the city, natural pools formed in granite rocks make for a perfect swimming destination. Known as Johnson’s Shut-Ins, the pools were created long ago by volcanic activity. Waterfalls and rapids make this more than simply a relaxing swim spot, though it certainly is that too.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. Liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.
For questions or information about the third party liability insurance that is included in protection plans, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site.
When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but Turo’s insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
