Minneapolis and Saint Paul are some of the two best cities in America. They're also home to some of the most amazing things to do, see, eat, drink and experience. In this video, I give you 15 must-do activities that will help you get started exploring these fantastic places!
Minneapolis and Saint Paul are two cities that are located in the state of Minnesota. They are located on opposite banks of the Mississippi River just north of its confluence with the Minnesota River, which forms the border between the states of Minnesota and Wisconsin at this point. The Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan area consists of over 16 cities in Minnesota with a population of 3.6 million people.
Unlike most Twin Cities, Minneapolis (MPLS) is slightly larger by population than Saint Paul, though today it is not as true as it was for most of the 20th Century. Saint Paul has won national acclaim for its beauty and livability.
The two cities have very different histories and they blend beautifully today. Although it's hard to say which is the better of the two, I'm referring to Minneapolis as a much more "boring" place than Saint Paul (in terms of activities and things to do).
Minneapolis has a lot of fun things for you to do, like the Mill City Museum or the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, in which you can immerse yourself in flour and the history of Minneapolis. Or visit the Science Museum of Minnesota for over 300 interactive exhibits covering science, art, history, and nature in Saint Paul.

St Paul is simply a hidden American gem.

[@viatravelers]

Truuuuth

[@evanharvath553]

As long as its not being rioted or you're not too far downtown.

[@astron1000]

Really great photography! But, I have to point out some corrections: 2:03 and 7:03 - The Cathedral of St. Paul is not Episcopal. It's Roman Catholic (There is an Episcopal Cathedral In Minneapolis called St. Mark's across from Loring Park). 3:30 The Twin Cities have 6 professional sports teams, not just 4 (You even acknowledge the professional MLS-affiliated United FC and Allianz Field later). And the professional WNBA Lynx have won 4 National Titles so, technically, they are the most successful professional sports franchise in Minnesota ;) . 7:30 Sorry, but the historic Foshay Tower has never been called the "IBM Building." Never. And it's 448 feet tall, not 296 as can be confirmed at Skyscraperpage's database. Otherwise, really nice video, thanks!

Thanks

@@viatravelers my Minneapolis trip it’s cut short but unpleasant overall. When I step out Union depot at late night as Amtrack 16 hrs looooooooong late! there obviously 🙄 man and woman( surprised)wondering around at station area and seems very disturbing 😳. Uber driver 1 refused to picked me near union depot required me walk towards his car 🚗 which it’s far and insensitive as passengers with a luggage when traveling. and eventually canceled the ride at that chilling cold late dark night. The Uber drive 2 from Somali follow GPS obviously have limited knowledge get around of this twin city. Google said 25-30 mins to Plymouth took him an hour I was scared 😱almost call 911 as I have no clues where he was heading seems he wasn’t sure either. The hotel I checked in have zero sense of help services attitude as a hotel suppose to be. The African American female manger too proud to make any efforts to make your stay make senses. I wanna do laundry they donot have coins 🪙 and they donot give any freaking care at all. I notice the African American young male smash their body to the 🚔 police car and nothing happened not even a warning. Minneapolis it’s upside down and the whole world knew what’s going on there and no one bothered to visiting there anymore. Besides above this twin city thing just made everything far spread out and it’s tooooo difficult 😞 to access anything but driving around in btw and traffic added it up make it even worse! Last thing. Early fall Sep the night & morning chilling your bone so overall. For those live or settle at Minneapolis You are brave soul ! For those live at east / west coast embraced the mild air influences by the 🌊. You better stay where you are as that’s not your place to enjoy anything. Nothing Pretty much everyone I encounter with a obviously attitude problem, when left. The airport TSA “ padded” me pretty much for nothing. And staff laugh at you for not a single reason just rude. Minneapolis 👎🏽

[@chlbtn]

Good video but skip the first two minutes. The narration is staccato.

​@@viatravelers Minnetroplis = Small city? Neither Minneapolis or St Paul have a population larger than half a million. By American standards that's fairly modest although the metropolitan area has a combined population of 3.6 million. No offence but your voice isn't suited to narration! Greetings from England.

Minnesota lags in personal income, household income, and GDP growth Minnesota's economic growth has lagged behind the nation's for several years, as indicated by per capita GDP, per capita personal income, and median household income.

[@deekang6244]

Hmmm, I’ll think about that while I walk down the street in my neighborhood of $600,000 homes with new cars parked in the driveways. And drive five minutes down the road to the beautiful parks, beaches and hiking trails. And I shop in a grocery store with a chandelier. Flowers everywhere, lovely yards as well as wild fields of indigenous plants. Have lunch at a variety of restaurants, stop for happy hour at several cafes, sit in local coffee shops, and buy gifts at boutiques.

@@viatravelers Not really, Minneapolis is losing business and crime is up overall compared to pre-pandemic. The reality is that there isn't a ton to do in Minneapolis outside of going to overpriced yuppie restaurants and clubs, the downtown area is a ghost town most nights after 5pm, and even more so now that most workplaces have switch to a hybrid or full remote schdule, why keep paying to have expensive overpriced offices that no one can afford to live close too, unless you want live in Stevens Square and end up getting shot. Even before the Pandemic Minneapolis was just another generic downtown full of people trying to pretend it was New York, A lot of the things that made Minneapolis unquie, like Daytons and Daytons and the Holidazle parade, are long gone, and no the holidazle village dosen't count its just another overpriced carnival. Besides real Minnesotans don't want to live downtown, they want to move up to there cabins.
