The Gateway Arch is the tallest structure in the city and the tallest national monument in the United States, standing at 192 meters tall and spanning 192 meters. It features a time capsule with the signatures of 762,000 St. Louis students. At the top, there are two special elevators that transport five people per capsule every ten minutes to reach the summit.

The catenary-style Gateway Arch (also known as the Gateway to the West) is 192 meters tall and spans 192 meters, making it the tallest structure in the city and the tallest national monument in the United States.
Set in the keystone of the arch is a time capsule bearing the signatures of 762,000 St. Louis students.[31]

The viewing platform at the top of the arch is frequented by two special elevators - one in each half of the arch - every ten minutes. The elevator system, dubbed the Tram System, consists of eight cylindrical cars arranged like a string of pearls to compensate for the curvature of the arch. This ensures that the passengers always sit upright during the journey to the summit. Five people can be transported per capsule at a speed of almost 4 km/h.
