　　This flashy museum explores blues legends like hometown hero Chuck Berry, while making a strong case for the genre's myriad influences on modern rock, folk, R&B and more. There are interactive exhibits from the likes of Jack White, and interesting stories about the early years of blues and its (almost exclusively female) pioneers.

Must-see attractions

　　A true cabinet of curiosities. The interior of this two-level club is a master class in mosaics, while the rambling outdoor garden is chock-full of folk art and twinkling lights. Best of all, the drinks are cheap and there's live blues, rock and jazz seven days a week. ...

　　New York City may have Central Park, but St Louis has the bigger (by 528 acres) Forest Park. The superb, 1371-acre spread was the setting of the 1904 World's Fair. It's a beautiful place to escape to and is dotted with attractions, many free. Two walkable neighborhoods, the Loop and...

Columbia Bottom Conservation Area

　　Marvel at the place where two of the world's great rivers, the Missouri and the Mississippi, meet. Unfortunately an industrial park on the far side of the Mississippi mucks up a bit of the majesty, but you can still view the turbulent waters once paddled by explorers Lewis and Clark...

Old Courthouse & Museum

　　Facing the Gateway Arch across the new plaza, this 1845 courthouse is where the notorious Dred Scott slavery case was first tried in 1857. Considered one of the worst court decisions ever, Scott was denied his freedom. Galleries depict the trial's history, as well as that of the city. 　　The...

　　Possibly the wildest highlight of any visit to St Louis is this frivolous, frilly fun house in a vast old shoe factory. The Museum of Mirth, Mystery & Mayhem sets the tone. Run, jump and explore all manner of exhibits, including a seven-story slide. The summer-only rooftop offers all manner...

Charlie Gitto's

　　Legendary Charlie Gitto's makes a strong claim to having invented St Louis' famous toasted ravioli. On any night the weather allows, dine under the tree on the patio. Classy but casual; a Hill classic. ...

4 Hands Brewing Co

　　A fraction of the size of big brother Bud down the street, this craft brewery is everything its neighbor is not: homey, unassuming and out to surprise. Order by the taster or full glass and grab some bar snacks if you get hungry. Try the Ripple White Ale. ...

St Louis Art Museum

　　This grand beaux-arts palace (with a striking modern wing) was originally built for the World's Fair. Now housing this storied institution, its collection spans time and styles, and includes a variety of household names from Picasso to Van Gogh and Warhol. The beguiling Grace Taylor Broughton Sculpture Garden opened in...

Museum at the Gateway Arch

　　After receiving a facelift along with the rest of the park and reopening in summer 2018, this now sleeker museum not only offers more high-tech interactive exhibits, but also an updated historical view of westward expansion, with displays acknowledging that the West was either 'won' or 'stolen' depending on your...

Earthbound Brewing

　　This is one of St Louis' brewpubs that makes any real beer lover forget about Bud and revel in handcrafted brews. Don't miss the Doing it Extreme IPA, made with two kinds of hops, orange peels and coriander. It's a summer sensation. ...

Gateway Arch National Park

　　As a symbol for St Louis, the Gateway Arch has soared above any expectations its backers could have had in 1965 when it opened. Now the centerpiece of its own recently christened national park, the silvery, shimmering Arch is the Great Plains' own Eiffel Tower. It stands 630ft high and...
