Kansas City Links Directory and Travel Resources

(Kansas City, Missouri - MO, USA)

Well-known for its steakhouses and barbecue joints, Kansas City comes with an enticing jazz scene and a series of appealing neighborhoods. These include River Market, Quality Hill, Westport and the Crossroads Arts District, amongst others.

Now a leading tourist destination in Missouri, Kansas City boasts a good choice of well-placed hotels, although the cheapest accommodation tends to be spread along the outlying interstates. If you are staying in the downtown district you will find plenty of distractions, such as the City Hall and the Sprint Center, a multi-purpose indoor arena located on the Grand Boulevard. To the south, the Country Club Plaza is now a sizeable shopping district, while Westport is the place to come for art galleries. To the east , the sizeable city of Independence comes with a number of sights to see (often Harry S. Truman themed) and places to stay.
