Make friends, see the sights, enjoy the weekend.

Explore Stl
“There’s no place like home.” In St. Louis we’re spoiled with historical landmarks and cultural institutions, many of which are free. Our sports fans have incredible spirit; the Cardinals are known for having the best fans in baseball. Our cuisine features dishes you can’t get anywhere else, many introduced by a vibrant population of immigrants.
We invite you to discover something amazing in this city for yourselves. We’ve got time set aside Saturday and Sunday without planned activities. If you are looking for recommendations, check out our Tour St. Louis page, but please make this time your own. Honestly, we wouldn’t blame you if you wanted to catch a nap instead.
