About Duluth

A port city on the north shore of Lake Superior, Duluth is a wonderful choice for a lakeside holiday. This part of Minnesota has a fascinating history, as well as offering exciting outdoor activities for visitors of all ages. Accommodation options range from simple, self-catering spots to an extensive waterfront hotel with top-notch facilities and beautiful views. The best places to stay in Duluth are centred around Lake Superior: what better way to soak up the magic of the Great Lakes than to wake up within sight of the water!

With 129 verdant city parks and gardens, as well as sparkling lake waters, Duluth is a hugely inviting place for active travellers. Popular attractions include the Great Lakes Aquarium, the Lake Superior Railroad Museum and Glensheen Mansion, a striking 1908 residence overlooking Lake Superior. You’ll find appealing cycling and walking trails through Canal Park — complete with views over the century-old Aerial Life Bridge — as well as around Minnesota Point. Lake Superior, the St Louis River and Jay Cooke State Park promise ample opportunities for kayaking, paddle boarding, sailing, fishing, hiking and wildlife spotting, too.

Round off days of discovery with craft brews, hand-made souvenirs and delicious dishes in the Lincoln Park Craft District, or at the shops and eateries of Canal Park and the downtown area. Bayfront Festival Park is a fantastic summer venue — book your trip well in advance to guarantee a room at one of the best places to stay in Duluth during festival season!
