The "Home of the Blues"Back in the days a major port on the Mississippi River.
St. Louis has a nice downtown, with lots of restaurants and bars, it reminds me of so many big cities in the US. The tourist areas are wonderful, but don't wander too far away. St. Louis has some rough neighbor hoods, in fact it makes the top list of the most dangerous cities :(.
Getting away from the city you will get the feel of the Midwest.
Flat lands, cornfields, no mountains, very calming.
