In the Spotlight
Minneapolis Saint Paul celebrates the arts, boasting beauty to behold across both cities. But don’t just take our word for it. In the past few years, our arts community and modern architecture caught the eyes of Newsweek, Travel + Leisure and an array of other national publications. Conde Nast Traveler dubbed us “the Midwest’s cultural capital.” You’ll find the beauty within matches the beauty of the architecture at many of our cultural must-sees, such as the Weisman Art Museum, Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Walker Art Center and Guthrie Theater.
Take it Outside
By bike. By boat. By foot. By in-line skate. There are plenty of ways to explore the beauty of Minneapolis Saint Paul and we’re set up for all of them. Hop on the trails surrounding Minneapolis’ Chain of Lakes to see three metro area lakes and surrounding parks or float on a paddlewheeler down the Mississippi River in Saint Paul. With more than 10,000 state lakes, 22 regional trails and 330 metro area parks, there’s no end to the ways you can enjoy the outdoors.
