Missouri city of barbecue, jazz and fountains, with a free streetcar downtown.
RideKC bus 229 runs from the airport's new terminal to East Village Transit Center at 13th and Charlotte in about 54 to 59 minutes. The fare is $2, paid by card or app. Buses take no cash. Bus fares came back on 1 June 2026, and the streetcar stayed fare-free.
The KC Streetcar runs 5 a.m. to midnight Sunday to Thursday and to 1 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. Visit KC lists stops at the River Market, Union Station, the WWI Museum and the Plaza. Get off at 45th and Main for the Nelson-Atkins. Downtown, the River Market or Union Station suit a first visit if you want the streetcar. No bus or walking route to 18th and Vine or the barbecue spots is confirmed, so a ride may be easier.
The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art is free every day, but its Oak Street garage costs $20. It is closed Tuesday and Wednesday. The National WWI Museum and Memorial costs $19.50 for an adult and $11.50 for a youth 6 to 15. Children under 6 are free.
