    Frequently Asked Questions
    • Is St. Louis a safe place to visit?

      I felt very safe during my trip to St. Louis. But, as with any destination, you need to take precautions to keep yourself safe. Don’t walk by yourself at night, stay in a secure and well-located hotel or vacation home, use slash-proof, lockable, and RFID-protected bags and purses, and always have a charged cell phone with you.

    • What should I know before visiting St. Louis?

      When To Visit St. Louis:

      St. Louis summers are hot from June – August, though the humidity usually isn’t too bad. Tourist numbers and accommodation prices are at their peak in these months, so you’ll need to book your accommodation and tickets in advance. These months are peak baseball season, so make sure you check if there’s a home game when you plan to visit. Home games will make prices and tourist numbers even higher.

      Fall is a beautiful time to visit the city in September and October. The foliage will be changing, and the temperatures will be pleasantly cool (you’ll want a jacket for the mornings and evenings). This is also the harvesting season in Missouri’s Rhineland (a nearby wine region). Plus, accommodation prices and crowds will be on the decline. September is when the Taste of St. Louis food festival happens every year, and October hosts the Best of Missouri Market.

      Winter is cold and windy with high snow chances, and winter lasts from November well into March. If you’re okay with the cold, then you can score some great hotel deals in these months. Plus, you’ll practically have the Gateway Arch to yourself. St. Louis is also home to the second-largest Mardi Gras celebration outside of New Orleans.

      Spring is short and beautiful in St. Louis. April and May have wonderful temperatures in the 60s and 70s, and the Missouri Botanical Garden is a must-see during these months. Prices and crowds will be on the rise, especially around Spring Break weeks. May is home to the St. Louis Microfest (a beer tasing festival), the Art Fair at Laumeier Sculpture Park, and the Schlafly Art Outside Festival.

    • How do you travel around St. Louis?

      It’s easy (and very enjoyable!) to walk around St. Louis’s neighborhoods. But if you’re going to traverse the down, then you’ll want to use rideshares or MetroLink, the city’s light rail system.

    • What should I know before visiting St. Louis?

      When you visit St. Louis, I urge you to educate yourself about the history of Westward Expansion and its lasting impact on the indigenous population of the U.S. Please don’t ignore this history; learn from it.
