That's awesome! It is a pretty amazing city if you know where to go. I would recommend spending some time around the Central West End & the Midtown/ Arts District area if youre in search of the more lively neighborhoods. At least during my visit, downtown seemed almost covid- era empty while the West Side of the City was way more vibrant. In a lot of ways, it seems like the center of the city has shifted westward toward Forest Park, leaving the East side behind. I imagine if theres conventions or sporting events going on, and also when its above freezing cold that downtown may come to life a bit more but that was my experience at least
As for architecture, Soulard & Lafayette Park/Square are probably the most historically immersive neighborhoods I've ever been to. Would very, very highly recommend paying those a visit
