Kansas City, known as the City of Fountains, is the largest city in Missouri. It straddles the state border between Kansas and Missouri. Its downtown area is the junction of the Missouri and Kansas rivers which made it the ideal location for early settlements. A budding ground of jazz, it’s sprawling with over 40 live music venues and jazz bars including music museums such as American Jazz Museum. Many fountains dot Kansas City and once provided water for thirsty citizens and their horses. The iconic J.C. Nichols Memorial Fountain features four horsemen symbolizing four rivers. Kansas City is surely a must-visit holiday destination. And to make your visit more memorable why not book your stay by a tranquil lake?
