Downtown: Kansas City

Kansas City's impressive downtown skyline can be seen from most surrounding suburbs. Its tall buildings cast reflections on the nearby Missouri River and draw travelers to this central location. The recent renovation of Union Station and the River Market, along with the addition of Science City and the ongoing popularity of Crown Center, has energized the area. Fine dining establishments include the American Restaurant, Hereford House Restaurant and Lidia's Kansas City. A number of historic hotels, including the Westin Crown Center Hotel and the Hotel Savoy, have made downtown a magnet for travelers. Sightseers wishing to step back in time can do so at the 18th & Vine District, the American Jazz Museum, the Black Archives of Mid-America or the Toy & Miniature Museum. © WCities
