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.
Famous for its landmarks and free museums, St. Louis is full of novelties.
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.
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.

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.
Rent the perfect carAbout 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.
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.
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.
