St. Louis Essentials

St. Louis combines historic engineering with accessible cultural landmarks. The skyline is defined by the 630-foot stainless steel Gateway Arch and the 19th-century Eads Bridge. Forest Park serves as the city’s centerpiece, hosting the Saint Louis Zoo and Saint Louis Art Museum, which both offer free admission. Visitors can explore the repurposed industrial playground of the City Museum, view the massive mosaic collection at the Cathedral Basilica, or tour the historic Anheuser-Busch Brewery. Local staples include the historic Soulard Farmers Market and frozen custard from the long-standing Ted Drewes.
