Discover an exciting universe of adventures in the USA’s heartland.
St. Louis is a terrific choice for those seeking exciting, adventurous, and cosmopolitan travel experiences. Sophisticated yet reasonably priced, St. Louis, in the Midwest of the United States, offers a wide range of exhibits, attractions, and food options all encapsulated in a welcoming and multicultural environment. Here are some timeless locations as well as some fresh picks for your upcoming trip.
The Blues and St. Louis
The National Blues Museum is the only institution of its kind devoted to conserving and celebrating the blues music genre’s legacy, history, and worldwide influence. The museum, a must-see destination, preserves blues culture for upcoming musicians, fans, and historians through interactive galleries, live concerts, and displays powered by artifacts.
Genuine St. Louis blues will also appeal to music enthusiasts. On weekends, the majority of the blues clubs in the area host both local musicians and occasionally touring performers. Check out Broadway Oyster Bar and BB’s Jazz, Blues & Soups for guaranteed live blues seven days a week. Both are close by and only require a quick cab ride south of downtown.
Enjoy Yourself on Route 66
Route 66, sometimes referred to as the “Mother Road” and the “Main Street of America,” is significant in American folklore. One of the biggest cities along Route 66 between Chicago and Los Angeles is St. Louis. The Old Chain of Rocks Bridge, which marks Route 66’s first crossing of the Mississippi River, is one of the many local locations associated with the road.
Barbecue and Dessert Customs
Ted Drewes has been serving up thick, icy “concrete” shakes on Old Route 66 in St. Louis since 1929. You can even turn them upside down. In honor of Elvis Presley, try the “All Shook Up,” which is mixed with peanut butter and bananas.
Barbecue is a major food for Saint Louisans. Barbecue enthusiasts can sample pulled pork, flavorful beef brisket, and ribs prepared with a dry rub at establishments like Pappy’s and Sugarfire Smoke House, among others.
Culture of Breweries
Anheuser-Busch, which was established in 1852 and has its headquarters in the famed Soulard neighborhood, welcomes guests to its tour center and brewery in St. Louis. It also has a Biergarten, which is a laid-back area where guests can drink ales, various specialty beers, and lagers like Budweiser.
The first brewery to be established in St. Louis in over 50 years was the St. Louis Brewery & Tap Room, which opened its doors in 1991. With the addition of Schlafly Bottleworks, another local brewery, Schlafly has grown to be a beloved brand in the area.
Square One Brewery & Distillery, 4 Hands Brewing Company, Urban Chestnut Grove Brewery & Bierhall, and Urban Chestnut Midtown Brewery & Biergarten are a few more well-known microbreweries in St. Louis.
Have fun with the ball!
It’s been said that St. Louis is the greatest baseball city in the United States, and a trip to the city isn’t complete without seeing a St. Louis Cardinals game. With over 3 million supporters attending games at Busch Stadium every season, the Cardinals are the team that represents the heart and spirit of the area.
Visit Ballpark Village, which is located across from Busch Stadium and features a restaurant with a Cardinals motif, rooftop deck seating, the St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame and Museum, and a Budweiser Brew House with a beer garden.
Wonderful Gateway Arch
In 2015, the Gateway Arch, the world’s tallest arch and the biggest man-made monument in the country, turned 50 years old. Designed by the world-famous architect Eero Saarinen, the iconic and breathtaking Arch honors the ambition of Thomas Jefferson and the contribution of St. Louis to the U.S.’s western development. See the city and Mississippi River with breath-taking vistas by riding the enclosed tram to the observation deck.
