About Minneapolis
Big, friendly and forward thinking, Minneapolis is the largest city on the prairies. It’s a friendly metropolis perched on the banks of the Mississippi River — one half of Minnesota’s ‘Twin Cities’, with neighbouring St Paul. Accommodation options range from Victorian B&Bs to swish Art Deco skyscrapers, fit for a whole host of tastes and budgets, with many of the best places to stay in Minneapolis clustered around the buzzing downtown district. Perfect for art enthusiasts, foodies and outdoorsy types to explore, this is a terrific city for a lively holiday.
If you’re keen on art and museums, head to the Minneapolis Institute of the Arts, the Walker Art Center and the Weisman Art Museum. The Mill City Museum details the area’s history, whilst Fort Snelling — once a frontier outpost — promises an insight into pioneer life, with detailed reenactments of life in the past. Stroll through the 11-acre Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, take the little ones to the Water Power Park, or taste local specialties at the impressive Farmers' Market.
Brilliant for bicycling, Minneapolis is criss-crossed with ‘bike boulevards’, and you can easily cycle between the main attractions. The riverbank is particularly pretty for cycle rides and walks, whilst the lakes and rivers which surround the city promise excellent sailing, kayaking, canoeing, wild swimming and fishing. For scenic views, ride a restored trolley car between Lake Calhoun and Lake Harriet.
Endlessly entertaining and famously friendly, this is a wonderful city to visit. Book a room at one of the best places to stay in Minneapolis to get started!
