Minneapolis-St Paul Sightseeing
Sightseeing Overview
The key attractions of Minneapolis are arts-related and include the world-class Walker Art Center and the extensive collections at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts and the Frederick R Weisman Art Museum on the University of Minnesota campus.
However, some of the most enjoyable times in the city are spent simply walking around the Downtown area surrounding Nicollet Mall, admiring the architecture, shops and skyways, or exploring the historic area around St Anthony Falls along the river or the trendy Uptown district.
Highlights of St Paul include the Science Museum, the Downtown area, the State Capitol and the Victorian houses along Summit Avenue.
The Twin Cities’ major parks and lakes are also delightful distractions. Harriet Island Regional Park is particularly lovely.
