After talking so much about nature in my last post I decided to take an urban approach to Missouri.
As always it is good for travelers to spend some time in the city to stock up, rest and socialize.
I will start by talking about St. Louis, the biggest city in Missouri.

St. Louis Gateway Arch
The big arch in the picture above is the St. Louis Gateway Arch, a beautiful iconic structure that represents the "Gate to the West. The arch is 192 meters high. Visitors can take an elevator up to a platform 625 feet above the ground, and from there they are able to have an amazing view of the whole city.
Jefferson National Expansion Memorial Park
Located just below the Gateway Arch, this park is very colorful and filled with nature and it is definitely worth seeing if you are around.
Old Courthouse
The Old Courthouse is a building from 1864, it held many important trials in the past, but now it is a museum that showcases historical exhibits.
Branson
Leaving st louis and heading southwest you will find a small town with a population of around ten thousand people, this little town is called Branson and it is considered to be the "live entertainment capital of the world". You will find live music almost anywhere on the streets along with hand-made souvenir stores. Bransons is also a great stop for travelers to rest and explore the nature of missouri, with lots of tours and routes leaving from there. Branson is very close to the border that we will cross to get onto our next state, Arkansas!
