Discover a side of America that many travellers overlook on this fascinating 15-day self-drive journey through Missouri, a state rich in history, music, culture and classic American road-trip experiences. Begin in St. Louis, where the mighty Mississippi River and iconic Gateway Arch tell the story of America's westward expansion, before following the river north to Hannibal, the childhood home of Mark Twain. Continue to Kansas City for legendary barbecue, jazz and remarkable museums, then head south to Springfield, the birthplace of Route 66, where the spirit of America's Mother Road lives on. Experience the entertainment and Ozarks heritage of Branson before slowing the pace amongst the wooded hills and sparkling waters of the Lake of the Ozarks. Along the way, discover historic small towns, scenic highways, Missouri's State Capitol in Jefferson City and the charming German heritage and wineries of Hermann. With time to explore rather than simply pass through, this journey brings together Missouri's famous attractions and lesser-known discoveries, revealing the stories, landscapes and communities that make the heart of America so rewarding to explore.
