One of my loved city in the States. The must-be place is the Arch -- Gateway to the West. You will never realise how huge it is unless you are under it. Walking along the Missisippi River. The water front is a pleasure for mind and eyes.

Hear some music! There are nightclubs such as Mississippi Nights where you can catch wonderful punk shows. Of course St. Louis is the home of the Blues, so there are a lot of places--coffee houses like The Grind--where you can hear blues or jazz. Then there are clubs like Lo on N. 5th Street where you can hear jungle, drum 'n' bass, or house. You can even dress up an go to Powell Symphony Hall(see picture) and hear the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra. http://www.slso.org Imagine me drunk and stumbling around every place mentioned here. . .

Laclede's Landing Area.... In 1764, a French fur trapper named Pierre LaClede established Saint Louis as trading post on the west banks of the Mississippi River. Business was good from the beginning. Soon the village became the center of commerce with furs as the main source of exchange for goods. Today, Laclede's Landing, a nine - block industrial area that once housed companies producing coffee, leather goods, mattresses, tobacco, whiskey, candy and machinery for the barges, features some of the most unique restaurants, sidewalk cafes and clubs in the metro Saint Louis area. During the day, the historical district is also home to people who work at the many offices located on the edge of the Mississippi River. At night, horse drawn carriages and live music add to the atmosphere of one of the premier entertainment areas in St. Louis. This pic taken in front of a sculpture on road by the river, in front of Landing's entrance.... it was called 'St. Louis' Tall Grass', made of glass, stucco and cement.
St. Louis Rams Football
by changeinlatitude
How do you describe one fo the funnest (is that really a word?) times you could ever have when you tailgate before the home games. People every where, great food, cold beer, crazy fans hoopin it up. It is just a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon with your friends even if you don't have tickets to the game. Which, by the way, you can almost always find some when you get down there.
Traffic is usually crazy, so leave early and be careful. Hmmmm!! BBQ pit, hamburgers, hot dogs, snacks, blue & gold beads, soda and most of all a cooler full of cold beer.
Castlewood State Park
by Sunshine64
You wouldn't think of St. Louis as a place for hiking. There are no mountains, and few hills. But Castlewood State Park, just outside of St. Louis, has some trails and nice overlooks. While there aren't many trails, they are also not marked well, and it's easy to get lost. So stop at the office and pick up a free map.
