Missouri

Set along the west bank of the Mississippi River, this is one of the Midwest’s most rewarding cities to explore.

Somewhere along the Mississippi, about two hours north of St Louis, there’s a small city where brick storefronts hug the riverbank and a white lighthouse perches on a bluff above the water.

Known for its lively entertainment scene, this energetic city offers an impressive mix of live shows, music venues, and family-friendly attractions.

Despite often being overlooked, the Midwest state of Missouri is a fascinating place to visit that has a number of different sides to it.

Known for its bold flavors and vibrant creative scene, this Midwestern city offers far more than its culinary reputation suggests.

While it has plenty of wide-open plains and wild spaces to explore, the Midwest’s Missouri also has the teeming metropolises of St. Louis and Kansas City to check out.
