Nearby Attractions Details
The Gateway Arch is the undeniable star of St. Louis, but don't let it steal all the spotlight-this city is packed with hidden gems and must-see attractions just beyond the park. Whether you're a history buff, a nature lover, or just in it for the best Instagram-worthy spots, St. Louis delivers. Start with a stroll along the Mississippi Riverfront, where you can channel your inner Mark Twain on a riverboat cruise. These scenic rides give you a front-row seat to the city's skyline while floating down the mighty Mississippi-just like the explorers of old (but with way better snacks). If you want to dive deeper into the region's rich culture, check out Explore St. Louis, the go-to guide for all things local, from hidden food joints to buzzing nightlife. History lovers, take a quick trip to the Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site, where you can explore the former home of the Civil War general and 18th U.S. President. This preserved estate tells the story of Grant's personal and military life, complete with walking trails and historic structures. Looking for even older history? Head to Ste. Genevieve National Historical Park, a charming French colonial town founded in 1750, where centuries-old buildings and fascinating stories bring the past to life.
