3 days in Northeast Missouri Itinerary

Test the local claim that Saint Louis is second only to Washington, D.C. in the number of free activities available by spending your holiday exploring the city's central neighborhoods, famous for their restored century-old red-brick buildings.

Saint Louis is known for museums, zoos & aquariums, and parks. Your plan includes some of its best attractions: pause for some serene contemplation at Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis, see the interesting displays at City Museum, walk around Forest Park, and appreciate the history behind The Gateway Arch.
