Most major cities have one striking
structure that makes its skyline unique
and intriguing and St. Louis is no
exception.
The Gateway Arch, which is the
largest manmade monument in North America,
stands 630 feet (192 meters) above
the banks of the Mississippi River.
Taking a ride to the top is the best
way to see the city.
Route 66 and the Mississippi River can take you
to and from the semi-Southern city of St. Louis,
but its energizing music and nightlife scene will
make you want to stay.
Population:
348,189
Location:
