Ever heard of the Gateway Arch in Saint Louis, Missouri? Probably many of you are

more familiar with the Statue of Liberty in New York and the Golden Gate in San

Francisco, but how about the Gateway Arch?

The Gateway Arch is a Jefferson National Expansion Memorial which symbolizes

America's expansion to the West. It stands at 630 feet high and is currently the

tallest memorial in the US - even taller than the Statue of Liberty.

As you enter the city of Saint Louis, this three-sided enormous structure can be

easily seen looming above the skyrise buildings of the city. Made of stainless

steel with its free standing structure, it holds as the number one tourist

attraction of Saint Louis.

It is fascinating to note that the arch can accommodate people inside its

structure. It has two trams each located on its North and South ends which can

carry passengers up to its tallest peak where visitors can view the whole city

through the arch's small windows.

The area where the ...
... arch stands is a park in itself with its wide green lawn, walk

ways underneath the trees,and its man-made lake. Fronting the park is the

Missouri river where tour boats sail along.

Lastly, a beautiful underground complex can be found directly beneath the arch.

It houses its own museum, theaters, and souvenir stores. Probably, describing the

arch wouldn't be enough to characterize this excellent architectural structure of

the 20th century. Seeing it and visiting the arch is the best thing to do.

Saint Louis is a big city and hotels are available for your stay. Of course

advance online hotel reservations are the best thing to do. Airline travel to Saint Louis is

also a big possibility to facilitate your transportation.

So visit St. Louis soon!
