Once in St. Louis, Illinois, you will see this magnificent building with a stainless steel suspension line, 192 meters high, built in 1964 only two years after construction. There is an elevator at the bottom of the arch that can go directly to the top floor. The St. Louis Arch is a landmark in downtown St. Louis and can be seen from a distance. Impressed like a rainbow bridge standing on the Mississippi River. It's too high! But when you get on top of the small window you will definitely feel like you are already on the "heaven"! Very special, don't miss it. St. Louis was the only way for these indomitable pioneers to go west, to conquer remote areas and to find a way to make a living during the American or British colony. They once described St. Louis as the "gateway to the West". The arches of St. Louis were built to commemorate them.
