Antes de ir
Do aeroporto
From Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport (MSP), the Light Rail Blue Line is the cheapest and most efficient way to downtown. It takes about 25 minutes and costs $2-2.50 during off-peak/peak hours. A taxi or ride-share (Uber/Lyft) to downtown costs $35-50 and takes 20-30 minutes depending on traffic.
Como se deslocar
Downtown, the North Loop, and the Mill District are very walkable and connected by the Skyway system. To explore lakes or further neighborhoods, biking or public transit is recommended.
Dicas locais
- Rent a Nice Ride bike (the city's bike-share) to easily explore the Chain of Lakes and the Grand Rounds parkway system—it's the best way to cover ground like a local.
- Many major museums, including the Minneapolis Institute of Art and the Walker Art Center's sculpture garden, are free, making high culture incredibly accessible.
- In winter, use the downtown Minneapolis Skyway System—over 9 miles of enclosed, second-level bridges connecting buildings—to stay warm while exploring.
