What do Mark Twain, Walt Disney, legendary jazz, world-famous barbecue and Route 66 have in common?
Missouri! And Travel USA has brought them together in one unforgettable 15-day self-drive adventure. Start in St Louis, where the Gateway Arch dominates the Mississippi River skyline. Ride to the top, cruise the river and eat like a local before heading to Hannibal, where Mark Twain’s famous stories began. Continue towards Kansas City, detouring through Walt Disney’s childhood hometown of Marceline—the inspiration for Disneyland’s Main Street, USA— before exploring a city famous for its jazz, barbecue and museums.
We’ve even included a guided BBQ tour! Then it’s time for Route 66 nostalgia in Springfield, staying at an historic motor court before heading into the Ozarks and Branson, America’s live entertainment capital. Choose from nine selected shows and spend a day exploring Silver Dollar City. Slow things down with a lakeside escape at the Lake of the Ozarks, then discover Missouri’s State Capitol in Jefferson City and Hermann’s German heritage and wineries before returning to St. Louis.
