Minneapolis

Once a flour-milling centre, visitors travel to Minneapolis today for culture. Art, theatre, history and fine dining await those with flights to Minneapolis, in the Riverfront District, Downtown and Uptown.
Things to do

Shopping
Visit one of the world's largest shopping venues, the Mall of America, with over 500 stores. A flight to Minneapolis means you can visit the trendy shops of Uptown for housewares, clothing and gifts made by local Scandinavians.
Restaurants
See the world in Minneapolis' restaurants. Take a flight to Minneapolis' version of Spain at Solera in the Theatre District. Travel to Minneapolis Uptown's French Café Barbette or tropical Chino Latino.

Live entertainment thrives in the Riverfront and Theatre Districts. Get a ticket to Minneapolis' Guthrie Theater or State Theatre or enjoy live music at the Dakota Jazz Club. Have a drink at NBA City Downtown.
