Come to Lafayette Square to meet the “painted ladies.” These grand Victorian houses, painted in pastel shades, are so perfect that they look like dollhouses. It is partly because of these pretty buildings that this neighbourhood has flourished into the hip spot it is today. Unique stores, cafés and galleries and a lush green space are among its key attractions. In the mid-19th century, some of St. Louis’ wealthiest citizens lived here. In 1896, a tornado devastated the square, setting off a period of decline that finally came to an end in the 1970s. It was then that the square’s iconic Victorian houses were restored and rebuilt. To see inside, visit in June or December, when the houses are open for just one day. Find relics of the square’s history scattered all around. Look for the bronze statue of Senator Thomas Hart Benton and the marble statue of George Washington, which both date from the 1860s. Purchase a morning coffee from one of the nearby cafés and enjoy it in the calm of Lafayette Park. This 30-acre (12-hectare) green space is one of the city’s oldest and loveliest. Next, head out to tour the many unique businesses that draw people from across the city. Browse quirky independent stores for the perfect souvenir. Pick up some art or simply window-shop at beautiful tiny galleries. Treat yourself to a massage at one of the square’s lovely spas. As the sun goes down, choose from a wide range of bars and restaurants. Indulge your sweet tooth at a chocolate bar that specializes in dessert and sample local beer and spirits at a brewery and distillery. Ride one of the buses running from downtown St. Louis that stops near Lafayette Square. Reach your destination and you will soon see how this small section of the city offers enough to fill an entire day. --- ### Popular places to visit ![Union Station, St. Louis, MO](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/502868/8704491b-9324-4c56-89ed-94a638702313.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### St. Louis Union Station 4.5/5(7 reviews) You can learn about the local history of St. Louis when you make a stop at a well-known site like St. Louis Union Station.
