From St. Louis International Airport, Airport Express shuttle vans (tel. 314/429-4950) will get you to most downtown hotels for $10. The MetroLink light rail (tel. 314/231-2345) connects the airport with downtown for only $3. Taxis cost about $20 to $25. Amtrak also serves St. Louis. St. Louis is proud of having solved the traffic problem, and locals swear you can get around most of the attractions by car in 20 minutes; they also point to plentiful downtown parking in high-rise parking decks. If you are in St. Louis strictly for downtown business it makes sense to take a shuttle or cab from the airport and walk around the compact downtown area, but if you want to check things out further afield, its best to drive to town or rent a car during your stay. In-Season Costs
St Louis offers dining and accommodations to suit any budget. Youll find all the familiar national chain restaurants and hotels along with some unique independent ethnic restaurants in all price ranges. Downtown accommodations can get pricey in the $100 and up range for starters, but some bargains do exist in outlying areas. The important thing to know is that St. Louis is a fairly busy business and convention hub so if you want a specific property its best to book early --- often hotels have room blocks committed to special events.

Jefferson National Expansion Memorial
National Park
Category: St. Louis National Park near St Louis, Missouri
Description of this St Louis area Attraction: Jefferson National Expansion Memorial consists of the Gateway Arch, the Museum of Westward Expansion, and St. Louis' Old Courthouse. During a nationwide competition in 1947-48, architect Eero Saarinen's inspired design for a 630 foot stainless steel arch was chosen as a perfect monument to the spirit of the western pioneers. Construction of the Arch began in 1963 and was completed on October 28, 1965, for a total cost of less than $15 million. The Arch has foundations sunk 60 feet into the ground, and is built to withstand earthquakes and high winds. It sways up to one inch in a 20 mph wind, and is built to sway up to 18 inches. Fees are charged to ride the unique tram system to the top. Acreage: 90.96.
The Museum of Westward Expansion, located below the Arch, is as large as a football field and contains an extensive collection of artifacts, mounted animal specimens, an authentic American Indian tipi, and an overview of the Lewis and Clark expedition.
Located just two blocks west of the Arch, the Old Courthouse is one of the oldest standing buildings in St. Louis, begun in 1839. It was here that the first two trials of the Dred Scott case were held in 1847 and 1850. Today, the building houses a museum charting the history of the city of St. Louis and restored courtrooms.
Save time by purchasing tram and movie tickets online. A $3 processing fee is charged per transaction for this service. For more information go to www.stlouisarch.com.
