Visiting Gateway Arch National Park in St. Louis | Hyatt Regency at The Arch Walkthrough

Justin Vacula of the Hurdy Gurdy Travel Podcast visits Gateway Arch National Park in St. Louis, Missouri, during a late May 2026 trip. Starting from the Hyatt Regency St. Louis at The Arch, Justin walks toward the Gateway Arch and shows what it’s like to visit one of the most recognizable landmarks in the United States.

In this travel walkthrough, Justin highlights the lively park atmosphere, with people taking graduation photos, relaxing on the manicured lawn, celebrating, and enjoying the beautiful views around the Arch grounds.

He points out nearby sights including the Arch Store, food trucks, the Old Cathedral, the Arch Entry Visitor Center, and the riverfront area with boats, buildings, flags, and a nearby casino in the distance.

Justin also discusses visiting the inside of the Gateway Arch, including the option to take the tram to the top for panoramic views of St. Louis and the Mississippi River. He recommends buying tickets in advance because popular times can sell out, and mentions that tickets were around $20 during his visit.

The video also includes late May weather in St. Louis, views of the riverfront, and Justin’s upcoming travel plans from St. Louis back through Chicago and then to Philadelphia.
