When you land
Things to do in St. Louis
St. Louis grew up where the Missouri River meets the Mississippi, and it still carries itself like the river capital it once was: brick neighborhoods, old breweries and a skyline anchored by Eero Saarinen’s Gateway Arch. The economy is broader than many visitors expect. Washington University and BJC HealthCare make the region a major center for medicine and research, Boeing builds military aircraft at its plant beside Lambert, and companies such as Enterprise Mobility, Edward Jones, Centene and Emerson keep their headquarters in the metro area, many of them clustered in suburban Clayton.
