...baseball and ice hockey teams. St. Louis Cardinals play baseball at the Busch Stadium opened in 2006. If you can’t get to see a game, you can always visit The St Louis Cardinal’s Hall of Fame – open Monday - Friday 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. and Saturday - Sunday 9 a.m. - 12 noon with free admission. My sister is a big Ice Hockey fan so we leave St Louis without a look at the home of St Louis Blues – the Scottrade centre. ~~Attractions~~ Without a doubt, the ... ...for the celebrities associated with St. Louis.

Advantages: not full of tourists,a real taste of a US city Disadvantages: huge ,few direct flights
If you want a real taste of an American city and want to avoid your fellow country men then St Louis is the perfect destination.
I went to St Louis quite by chance.
It was my first trip to the US and I did'nt know where I wanted to go so I simply put a pin in a map, booked a flight and packed my rucksack! The flight was around eleven hours with a stop off in Atlanta.
Atlanta airport is a mind blowing experience in itself with robot controlled ... ...dominated by The Cardinals baseball team and the stunning St Louis arch.

The Budweiser brewery is also a must as is a paddle boat ride on the Missippi!
I also stumbled upon St Louis central railway station which might not inspire much excitement unless your a train spotter! How wrong ....

Advantages: Lots to see and do Disadvantages: It's a long flight
After travelling to Missouri, USA for the last 6 or so years, I finally convinced my wife we needed to visit St Louis on our next trip 'home'. My wife is from South-West Missouri - there'll be a review on this locale soon!!
I always wanted to go there but never knew why - now I do.
St Louis is a terrific destination for a holiday - depending on what you want to do, of course.
OK, first step - how to get there.
American Airlines do direct flights ... ...travel from Heathrow to Chicago then get an internal flight to St Louis from a variety of carriers.
Cost varies - we paid £350 each for return flights from Edinburgh - Heathrow - Chicago - St Louis.
Where to stay.
Like most American cities, there's always a huge choice of hotel accomodation to suit all budgets. I'd recommend Holiday Inn (one right next to the airport). There's also Super 8, Ramada Inn, Days Inn nearby.
The costs for hotels vary ...
