Minneapolis

Known as the “City of Lakes”, Minneapolis features a dramatic riverfront skyline, three professional sports stadiums within 1.3 miles, and countless art installations with a theater on almost every corner. A culture committed to perfecting the craft of the brew, one of the best parks & recreation systems in the nation, and a foodie paradise where you can get Nordic cuisine for breakfast, Ethiopian for lunch and this thing called a “Juicy Lucy” for dinner.  A place to bring your dancing shoes to celebrate at festivals all year-round, enjoy four gorgeous seasons surrounded by 22 lakes, the Mississippi River and a waterfall, and meet friendly locals who can’t wait to show you why they love living here.
