Your Complete Guide to Flying to Minneapolis, Minnesota

Minneapolis is the larger of Minnesota’s famous Twin Cities, a sophisticated Midwestern metropolis perched on the Mississippi River with an arts scene that punches dramatically above its size — more theater seats per capita than any US city outside New York, and institutions like the Walker Art Center and Guthrie Theater that rank among the finest in the country. The city’s network of 22 lakes within city limits, connected by 55 miles of parkways, gives Minneapolis one of the most extraordinary urban outdoor recreation systems in America.

Minneapolis is also the home of Prince, the starting point of Bob Dylan’s career, and the birthplace of the Coen Brothers’ cinematic vision of Minnesota. The skyway system — 80 city blocks of connected indoor walkways — enables year-round city life regardless of the notoriously cold winters.
