Minneapolis Area City Tour
Minneapolis is one of the Twin Cities that lie on each side of the
Mississippi in eastern Minnesota, the other being St. Paul. However,
these two cities are really not similar at all: Minneapolis is larger
and more metropolitan, with lots of skyscrapers downtown and three
major sports franchises while St. Paul, the capital, possesses more
historical buildings and has more things to see, including the NHL's
Minnesota Wild. Minneapolis lies primarily on the western side
of the Mississippi River, although the University of Minnesota and
the historical area of St. Anthony's Main are on the northeastern
side. The downtown core, which lies closer to the northern end of
the metro area, contains the business district as well as the Metrodome
and the Target Center. ThereMinneapolis City Hall is a good mix
of older historical buildings as well as a number of newer towers
that make the skyline very interesting. The riverwalk area just
north of downtown is also a good area to spend some time. For those
interested in large malls, try Bloomington's Mall of America, which
proclaims itself the largest in the world.
