The Twin Cities Region
Home > Travel Planner > Twin Cities Region
Minneapolis and St. Paul are two of the most interesting cities in the United States. In spite of being the "Twin Cities", they actually have distinct characteristics. Minneapolis favors broad boulevards and modern architecture in the city core, while St. Paul has more narrow streets and well-preserved late Vitorian homes. Both have friendly citizens, thriving arts communities, and first rate museums. Stay in a Minnesota Bed and Breakfast make the Twin Cities your home for a while; they are a great place to start exploring this state. If the weather is fine, stroll through the Walker Art Center and the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. The Science Museum of Minnesota is interactive, kid-friendly, and lots of fun. Be sure to tip a hat to the Mary Tyler Moore Statue in downtown Minneapolis when passing by.
Some of the finest chefs in Minneapolis-Saint Paul like to use local, organic produce whenever possible, and a wide variety of cuisine is available, from Vietnamese to Ethiopian. The Guthrie Theater attracts top-notch performers. The Fitzgerald Theater, built in 1910 and restored in 1986, serves as a home base for Garrison Keilor's Prairie Home Companion, but draws internationally acclaimed acts as well.
South of the cities, visit the Mall of America. Or drive 30 minutes east of St. Paul and take a river boat down the St. Croix River. Ask the innkeepers of a MN Bed and Breakfast what they like to do in their home town, and you are sure to enjoy your stay.
