Best Minneapolis holiday apartments

Minneapolis

The city is also known by the names “City of lakes” because of the numerous lakes and “Mill City”, since in the past the main economic activity was the milling of wheat. It stretches along the banks of the Mississippi, in the southeastern part of the state of Minnesota, of which it represents the principal city.
Together with the nearby capital Saint Paul, it forms the metropolitan area called the Twin Cities, with a total population of around 3.5 million inhabitants. Originally it was a settlement of the Dakota Sioux and over time, at the hands of the first French explorers who came to the site, it developed rapidly.

What to visit

Today Minneapolis, despite the harsh climate in winter, is a city with a strong tourist spirit, thanks also to the construction of the Skyway System, a covered and raised pedestrian connection system and the closure to traffic of a part of Nicollet Avenue.
The Downtown, divided into West and East, offers a mix of residential and commercial buildings, the historic mill district and the imposing Nicollet Mall. Definitely worth the walk. Also worth visiting are the City Hall (350 S. 5th St) and the Basilica of Saint Mary (88 17th St. N) in which, during the Sunday Mass at 9:30 am, a choir of 90 elements is exhibited.
Moving west of downtown towards the Mississippi, you will find, among other attractions, the Mill Ditrict, with many points of interest such as churches, museums, restaurants and more. Don’t miss the Guthrie Theater (818 S. 2nd St.) which will surprise you with its unique architecture and panoramic terrace, the Endless Bridge, which juts over 50 meters, giving a superb view of the city and the Mississippi River.
