Kansas City, MO in a nutshell

Kansas City is a large city in Missouri who is also set on the border of the state of Kansas. A busy metropolis, it is surprisingly timid in its approach to attract tourists.

The contemporary Kauffman Center is a good place to watch various shows and performances. This is the venue for the city's opera and theater scene. Other cultural venues include the Music Hall, The Midland by AMC, and Starlight Theatre. Jazz is also a big part of the culture of the city so that you should not miss visiting venues that offer live jazz music.
