For more than a century, St. Louis was a gateway to the untamed West. Today, it is a gateway to frontier history, as well as a lively modern center of culture and commerce. This compact guidebook will walk you through the best St. Louis has to offer, from the original townsite at Laclede's Landing to the ultra-modern Gateway Arch, from the jazz and blues of Soulard to the funky shops of University City, from the stately homes of Central West End to the vibrant flora of the Missouri Botanical Garden. Here are step-by-step directions and detailed maps of 20 excursions, as well as firsthand descriptions of points of interest along the way. The length and difficulty of the walks vary, but most will take no more than an hour or two. If you're visiting St. Louis - or exploring your own hometown - you'll be sure you're on the right track with "Walking St. Louis" to guide you.
