Minneapolis is a pretty uninspiring city, although I have a feeling that we haven't seen a lot of it. We have tended to stick to Nicolette Mall which is the main strip in Minneapolis, catch the light rail to the Mall of America and visit the baseball park. Having said this we always have a great time in the cities.
Minneapolis-Saint Paul is the most populous urban area in the state of Minnesota, and is composed of 186 cities and townships. Built around the Mississippi, Minnesota and St. Croix rivers, the area is also nicknamed The Twin Cities for its two largest cities, Minneapolis and Saint Paul, the former the larger and the latter the state capital.
I have always loved cities and this is no exception, it is vibrant compared to other areas that we have visited in Minnesota. It has a real city culture with good restaurants and bars. Its main downfall is that there isn't a lot there, although the several times we have been we have always found plenty to do. This time it was so hot (reaching 94 degrees F - remember the Yanks work in Fahrenheit!)that we had to keep calling into the bars for drinks - what a shame!
