The Famous Arch - Saint Louis

The Famous Arch

Why St Louis?

I enjoyed a brief stop in St Louis as part of a bus/coach tour down Route 66.

So what did I think? - Saint Louis

I regret the fact that I only got, basically, one day in St Louis but that is the nature of bus tours.

You only get a taste of each place you visit, you do have to go back for the full flavour.

I missed out on a lively Laclede's Landing as I had to visit on a Sunday (most places were closed), and I'd love to take in a game at Busch Stadium.

All in all, I feel that I got short-changed by having so little time. On the 'Must Go Back' list?.....Definitely.

Nice arch photos! If you pass through St. Louis again, I'd recommend the Central West End over Laclede's Landing - it's less touristy.
