Minneapolis, along with its sister city St.
Paul, makes up the largest metro area in Minnesota. But what really put
the Twin Cities on the map is the Mall of America. Where else in the world
are you going to find over 500 stores, an amusement park, an aquarium,
a dance club and countless restaurants? If you're still up for some more
shopping, check out Nicollet Mall! Four blocks of pure shopping -- what
could be better than that?
If shopping doesn't hold your interest, Minneapolis is filled with museums
and historic sites that can keep you busy for days. Go back in time to
visit a working farm from the mid 1800s, take a tour of the home of the
first governor of the territory, or wander along an 1880s stone bridge.
Numerous cultural and arts offerings can be found every day of the year.
Minneapolis loves its sports, too. Minneapolis is home to major league
baseball's Minnesota Twins and the National Football League's Minnesota
Vikings. So before you the leave the Twin City, try to take in a game.
But make sure you are prepared for cold weather walking to watch the Vikings
in the Dome, because highs in January average only 20 degrees F.
