A restaurant/bar located on the rooftop of the Hilton and literally gives you a 360 degree view of the city, including the ballpark! Heads up: it gets a bit “club-y” Friday and Saturday nights and has a $10 cover after 10pm. We personally prefer to avoid those busy peak hours for a more relaxed dinner and drinks!

The St. Louis Arch is an obvious site to at least stroll, if you don't actually go up inside. The newly renovated riverfront is nice for a morning walk or even a picnic.

A St. Louis guide wouldn't be complete without mentioning the home of the St. Louis Cardinals. It's worth a visit to see a live game, but also consider checking out the adjacent Ballpark Village, where you can experience the same level of energy and watch the game on the many live screens (...and then maybe hit up one of the clubs inside).
