Despite not being a major city by population, St. Louis holds its own against other larger cities with its tourist attractions, quirky foods, and iconic sites. Sports fans, foodies, and site-seers can all find activities within the city. Because of the city’s smaller size and the close proximity of attractions, experiencing a wide variety of St. Louis culture is possible even in a short amount of time.
Recently I spent one day in St. Louis, taking in as much as possible of the city. Within 12 hours, I saw a portion of the Botanical Garden, visited the top of the Arch, ate locally famous pizza, saw the site of the 1904 World Fair, and explored local neighborhoods.
