Liked my last Amtrak trip so much I've decided to go on a 4-dayer to St. Louis, from San Antonio on the Texas Eagle May 31-June 3. It's a full day up, and a full day back. Once in St. Louis I am limited to the downtown area unless I Uber/taxi it.

So far I'm planning on:
- Taking the Busch Stadium tour and seeing a Cardinals game
- Taking the Beermaster (complete) tour at the Anheuser Busch brewery
- Taking the combo tour of the Gateway Arch and the Riverboat Cruise

Are there any other must-see/do things in the downtown/arch/stadium area that you would recommend?

Thanks!

Actually when I was up there years ago they had a good commuter rail line. I don't remember any mass transit other than that but as I said it was years ago. You may be able to find some information on Google.

My friend who took the Amtrak train from Chicago to New Orleans said that the men would come out of the metal scrap yards as the train went by, beckoning to them, cutting torches in hand. Laughing emoticon
