The Kansas City metro area has one foot in Missouri and the other in Kansas, creating a cultural hub of barbecue, jazz, rich history, and innovative experiences. The city brims with notable landmarks, including the iconic National WWI Museum and Memorial, the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art, and Union Station. In between sightseeing, visitors can go the traditional route by dining on some of the best barbecue the world has to offer, or they can try some of the countless other culinary options. In a city that blends Spanish-style architecture and modern infrastructure, the one constant in the area is the enthusiasm for sports. With Royals baseball, Chiefs football, and Sporting KC soccer, as well as nearby colleges, there are plenty of options to root for.
